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
“The directors have assessed the company as having sufficient resources to meet expected ongoing costs of the business for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. As a result, they have continued to adopt the going concern basis when preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Shortly after the exciting transition into a 100% employee-owned business through an Employee Ownership Trust sale, the business was affected by a 3rd party laboratory error. This stopped its production facility for 6 weeks and affected its ability to meet what would have been an increasing sales demand.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
