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 prepared multiple cash flow forecasts for the Company and Group for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These include a reasonable worst-case scenario and other revenue growth models. These models show that, although the Group and Company continue to utilise its finance facility, the reliance is forecast to reduce as the Group generates healthy profits and cash. The Group's multi-tiered debt facility with Thincats expires in May 2029 and gives the Group the ability to invest for the future plans. As at 30 June 2025, the loan facility was limited to the term loan of £9m and none of the £3m revolving credit facility is utilised. Management's reasonable worst-case scenario forecasts this net debt to continue to drop and covenants to be met without the need for mitigating actions. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will continue to operate as a going concern for at least 12 months from the signing of the accounts. As a result of the above considerations the Directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”

We have been able to support our customers and their environmental impact through our 'Wastelnsight' products resulting in incremental reduction of 71,000 tons of CO2 (2024: 182,000 tons) (the equivalent of 12,000 UK households' electricity usage (2024: 30,000 UK households)) and incremental 19,000 tons of food waste (2024: 27,000 tons) or 47 million meals.”
