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

Significant events
- “The successful overall performance of the Company has been achieved against the backdrop of an ongoing unstable economic and political climate, evolution of market forces, and interference within the supply chain. During the financial year, the company ensured that sufficient investment in capital expenditure was made, which will enable future expansion of distribution markets.”
