Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Hazlewoods LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared budgets and forecasts which indicate that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least twelve months from the approval of these financial statements. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “the ongoing war in Ukraine continued to affect the company's supply chain costs as foodstuff prices for animal feed continued to be expensive.”
- “the geopolitical situation influenced and affected by leaders of major countries and economies created volatility in the financial markets, and resulted in currency and oil price fluctuations, which impacted the company's cost base.”
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. 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
