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

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“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. 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 parent 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

• “Turnover increased from £18.4 million in 2024 to £20.3 million in 2025. This increase reflects the company's product diversification strategy.”
• “The industry in which the company operates has faced recent issues including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which reduced the supply of chickpeas, lower yields in the UK due to poor weather, and an overhang of customer raw material stocks built up during the challenging COVID-19 period. Despite this landscape, the Company has managed to achieve consistent year on year profits, reporting a profit before tax of £117,000.”
• “In addition, the company streamlined operational costs and invested in a new accounting and trading platform that utilises the latest and most innovative Al software.”
• “The company continues to invest R&D resources into its subsidiary in Kenya, Artisem Limited, which has grown in operations throughout the period.”
• “The company's working capital cycle remained consistent at 61 days in 2025, compared to 58 days in 2024.”
