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

- “Moving into 2025 we are focusing on increasing the volume we can produce to allow us to target larger commercial growing contracts.”
- “The management team have a five-year plan that we are working towards, and this is reviewed on a six-month basis. It is our short-term goal to continue to develop new product ranges while continuing to increase volumes on our best-selling lines.”
