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

- 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.”
Significant events
- “Agriculture is becoming an ever more challenging industry to operate in with increasingly extreme and variable weather coupled with inflationary pressure on labour and other inputs. The Company has continued to operate efficiently and profitably throughout the period. The Company continues to develop and invest in the latest equipment and technology to ensure it remains efficient with high levels of productivity to help mitigate industry risks.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
