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
- “Measures taken to address the increased energy usage include a recent investment in solar panels and an energy storage battery to reduce reliance on electricity from the grid at one site. Further to this, it is the company's intention to install solar panels and energy storage battery on another site in the subsequent period. In addition, an electronic feeder has been installed on the farm site, which will reduce fuel consumed by vehicles.”
