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

- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through cash balances held and generated. Subsequent to the year-end, an outbreak of avian influenza ("bird flu") occurred at four operational sites... While this has resulted in some temporary disruption to production, the directors have reviewed the potential impact on operations and cash flows... and have concluded that the overall impact on the business, whilst material, can be fully mitigated. The directors note there are inherent risks and uncertainties such as sales volume and price, market conditions, continuous supply of eggs, and that avian influenza outbreaks are becoming an increasing threat to all poultry businesses in the UK. Mitigation plans are in place to manage these risks. Having considered these factors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue to operate for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, in June 2025, the company acquired a farm for total consideration between £13m and £15.5m. The purchase is expected to enhance the company's operations and contribute to revenue growth. The event is classified as a non-adjusting event under FRS102 and due to its material nature, it has been disclosed accordingly.”
- “Subsequent to the year-end, an outbreak of avian influenza ("bird flu") occurred at four operational sites on 17 December 2025, 23 December 2025, 11 January and 14 January 2026. This has resulted in temporary disruption to a part of the production and additional biosecurity measures being implemented in line with regulatory requirements. At the date of approval of these financial statements, management has assessed that the financial and operational impact of the outbreak is material, however it is impracticable to assess with accuracy the full financial impact, yet this is manageable within the company resources. The situation is being actively managed and does not relate to conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Accordingly, this is treated as a non-adjusting event under FRS 102.”
