- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 group's and 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. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. The Group considered robust sensitised cash flow projections including 20% year on year sales reductions over the 2 years and is satisfied that Joseph Joseph is a going concern.”

- “On May 21 2025 the Company received a dividend of £67 million from its immediate subsidiary, Joseph Joseph Limited, in order to address a prior period error surrounding the issuing of dividends when there were insufficient reserves available for distribution.

As at May 1 2025 the estimated Class 1A National Insurance liability was £0.4 million and the estimated interest payable to HMRC was £2.4 million.”

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
