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

“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In January 2025, several birds tested positive for avian influenza, leading to restrictions, culling, and substitution of barn eggs with colony egg. Government paid compensation at stock valuation, but significant costs for culling, disposal, biosecurity, shutdowns, and cleaning were incurred.”
- “On 16 December 2025, the Company acquired a new property for £17.4 million, funded by a new bank loan of £16.4 million.”
