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
“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 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 for 2024 was slightly ahead of forecast with export sales making a healthy contribution.”
- “The T2 Harvester was updated for 2024 and was showcased at the new for 2024 Potato Days event in September. The machine performed very well as it was demonstrated along side other potato industry offerings. The new event was a success and is expected to be held every two years going forward.”
- “Development of a new 3 Row Planter began in the previous year and the first machine was built in 2024 with a view to begin field testing and further development in the Spring of 2025.”
- “In October a new spraybooth was installed to replace the smaller of our two spraybooths. This will improve efficiency and ongoing running costs.”
- “The supply chain lead times that had previously increased did not ease and in some cases they extended further. This required careful planning and was successfully managed.”
