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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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
- “The financial performance for 2024 is atypical and was influenced by an unusually high crop price due to weather related supply issues and an acceleration of crop sales out of store to meet market demands. These circumstances are not expected to repeat for the 2025 accounting period where current market conditions, weather related growing challenges and continued cost increases remain key issues for this and all businesses operating in this sector.”
