- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared going concern assessments for the period covering 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Additionally, a letter of support has been provided by the immediate parent company of the company, Pilgrim's Pride Ltd, indicating that it will continue to make funds available to the Company and in particular will not seek repayment of amounts owed by the Company, unless absolutely required, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The directors therefore conclude that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for these financial statements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
Heads up: a more recent set of accounts has been filed but isn't yet reflected here — the figures above are older than the company's latest filing.
