Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- James Holyoak & Parker Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Part of the company's turnover relies on the agricultural sector. The current unpredictable wet weather and market conditions make this area more risky and hard to predict. The company has diversified its customer base and is increasing work done for the retail food sector to spread risk.”

- Working capital / Total assets 0.114 × 6.56 = +0.75
