- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis which they believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company is able to rely on its parent entity GA Pet Food Partners Group Limited (the Group) for financial support. The Group has access to rolling banking facilities in place for a minimum period of 2 years from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Directors have prepared trading and cash flow forecasts for the Group up to 31 January 2027 which indicate that the Group will operate within its facilities. 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 the 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. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. For these reasons, after making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.”
Significant events
- “The company continues to be fully aware of continued recall of products due to salmonella, primarily caused by a change in testing, traceability and regulations, as opposed to changes in risks.”

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
