Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Further Loans Issued: Subsequent to the year-end, the Company issued two loans totalling £4.1 million. This includes a loan of £2.6 million to a related party (a company controlled by the Director's sons) and a loan of £1.5 million to a third party. Both loans were made on commercial terms and are consistent with the Company's existing loans arrangements.”
• “New Bank Loan Facility: On 7 March 2025, the Company entered into a new loan facility with Oxbury Bank Plc, drawing down £1 million from a facility limit of £3 million to support ongoing working capital requirements. The loan is repayable 20 years after the final drawdown date and bears interest at 1.85% per annum over Bank of England base rate.”
• “Over the past year the health risks that face the pig industry in the UK have become more serious. Although African Swine Fever is limited to the eastern countries of Europe, outbreaks are becoming more prevalent again. The problems of high numbers of wild boar in Germany and Italy are causing problems in containing the spread of the disease.”
• “Over the past few months, outbreaks of Foot and Mouth Disease have been spreading. Hungary has declared a dairy herd positive. It is the first occurrence of foot and mouth disease for 50 years. Defra has introduced an import ban on susceptible products from Hungary and Slovakia following the confirmation.”
• “The farming industry has issued a furious response to the shock news that Defra has closed the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) applications with zero notice given to the industry. This combined with changes to Agriculture Inheritance Tax and Business Property Interitance Tax has put pressure on farmers in all sectors.”

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
