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
- “2023 was a transitional year for the business. The economic climate for trade continued to be challenging and appropriate steps were taken to implement efficiencies and purchase a warehouse to reduce costs.”
- “The launch of AirRAM 3 was delayed until 2024 to make further enhancements to its design.”
- “profits were hit by a one off payment of £2m for dilapidations to our previously outsourced facility.”
- “2023 returned a loss after tax of £1.2m (2022 £1.9m profit). However, it should be noted this includes exceptional costs of (£3.2m) relating to two retail partners which stretch back to 2017, without which a £2m profit would have been achieved in the year.”
- “long-term progress has been encouraging and expectations are for an improved trading profit in 2024, though this will be reduced by a buy back of 10% of the companies own shares and cash extraction which resulted from a change to the owners marital status.”
