Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “significant orders from the Coco industry in Ghana did not repeat in 2024.”
• “some impacts on supplies from Israel due to the war in that country, the more significant impact to the business was the increased shipping times due to the knock-on implications for Middle East shipping routes.”
• “Technology operations in Uganda have, other than 2 supply contracts, now ceased trading.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
