- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On the basis of the forecast position of the Group, and the letter of support received, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company saw an increase in price for its principal products, red beet, and potatoes, grown in 2023 sold in the year, lifting revenue to £8,607,232 (2023: £8,152,788). Crop output was lower by weight, which is a reflection of early seed issues and crop mix and the very favourable yields achieved in 2023 with 28,863 tonnes (2023: 30,792) grown.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
