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
- “The current financial reporting period represents an 11-month period to 31 May 2025 as it was agreed to change the financial reporting date for administrative reasons.”
- “Fixed assets have increased to £3,796,138 (2024: £1,889,331) due to intellectual property acquisition detailed in note 25.”
- “Stock levels increased to £4,921,949 (2024: £4,625,933) due to additional stock being held in relation to some of the new business won.”
- “There has been an increase in current liabilities to £7,420,870 (2024: £7,267,903) driven mainly by an increase in trade finance due to increased trading and use of overdraft at balance sheet due to working capital cycle, which was partially offset by intercompany creditors being reduced due to repayments.”
- “Amounts falling due after one year increased to £1,778,344 (2024: £Nil) relating to amounts payable for the intellectual property acquired during the financial period.”
- “On 1 January 2025, the Company formally transferred intangible intellectual property and trademark rights from a fellow group subsidiary for total consideration of £2,175,821.”
