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
“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Recent rapid inflation has presented an unexpected and unparalleled risk to all businesses in the UK. Global events have caused increased costs of certain inputs such as animal feed and electricity costs.”
- “The company has implemented a variety of measures to reduce exposure to these risks to its supply chain and customers in order to mitigate impact to the business.”
- “The current economic conditions create uncertainty particularly over the level of demand for the company's products and the availability of bank finance in the foreseeable future.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
