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

Significant events
- “The main risks to the company is the supply of deer. The directors work closely with suppliers and are always looking to increase the supplier base. The current economic situation also poses a risk as our products are seen as premium and any tightening of household spending may effect out sales. We mitigate this by selling to and through as many outlets as possible.”
