- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Whilst recognising that there continues to be some uncertainty in the wider economy, the directors have carefully assessed the expected impact on the business across the key areas outlined above. Based on these considerations, the ongoing trading performance of the business since the start of the new financial year and having regard to the financial and working capital needs (that have been included in assessment of downsides), the directors have concluded it's appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “2024 saw our biggest single year investment in capital, we invested £1.9m on a range of projects that included more capacity in soy milk processing, work to bring Tempeh production in house (both projects will come on stream in 2025) as well as further investment in infrastructure to underpin the business (a larger boiler and a bigger grid connection).”
- “The business also underwent a significant ownership change in 2024 with Comitis Capital GmbH purchasing a majority share of the business.”
- “The decline is due to £483,283 of exceptional costs associated with the sale of the business to Comitis Capital GmbH in June 2024.”
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
