- 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 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
- “Annual sales for 2024 have shown growth when compared with those for 2023. Continued inward investment in the production processes has led to Heritage increasing manufacturing efficiencies and capacity throughout.”
- “On 24 February 2025, 100% of the issued share capital of CorpAcq Holdings Limited, which in turn owns 100% of CorpAcq Limited, was acquired by Celadon Bidco Limited.”

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
