Going concern

Affirmed

“After reviewing the group forecasts and projections, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. Furthermore the Company has received a letter of support from its ultimate parent company J G Pears Holdings (Jersey) Limited that it will not call in Group liabilities at the detriment of the Company for at least 12 months from the date of accounts sign off. The directors have sufficed themselves that the Group has sufficient liquid resources to provide this support should it be required.”

Significant events

• “Revenue from business activities decreased by (6.4)% to £65.3m (2024: £69.8m) due to slowing global demand for rendered finished goods and a decision to increase stock volumes with less product thus selling on the global market.”
• “The Company experienced a pretax loss of £(8.8) million for the year (prior year £12.4m).”
• “Operating in the highly regulated animal by-product market presents numerous risks and uncertainties including the impact of Brexit, a competitive marketplace, macro economic environment, cost of living crisis, inflation, and the war in Ukraine.”

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
