- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis which they believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. GA Pet Food Partners Group Limited, the company's ultimate parent undertaking, has confirmed that it will continue to provide financial and other support to the Company, for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, to the extent necessary to enable the Company to continue to trade, and in particular will not seek repayment of the amounts currently made available if doing so would leave the Company unable to pay its liabilities as they fall due.”
Significant events
- “During the period the Company's turnover decreased from £169,658,000 to £141,944,000 and operating profit decreased from £2,593,000 to £1,898,000. The decrease in this level of profitability can be attributed to a review of the Company's business model, moving to lower turnover, higher margin products.”

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
