- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The entity is profit making and has positive reserves, which is expected to continue for at least 12 months from signing of these financial statements, therefore the going concern basis of preparation is deemed appropriate by management.”
Significant events
- “During this period, the business was adversely affected by lower energy export values, reduced plant availability, and declining market demand for green energy certificates.”
- “The UK commitment to carbon reduction and the generation of increased levels of secure domestic energy sources, together with mandatory food-waste separation rules provides the company with long-term opportunities for further growth.”
- “The UK Government has confirmed the timetable for compulsory food waste collections in England... The directors believe the implementation of the new legislation will further enhance the prospects for the operations of ReFood and provide certainty to support current and future investments.”
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
