Significant events
- “Revenue increased significantly during the year from $39,622k in 2024 to $51,960k for 2025, reflecting the success of the initiatives aimed at increasing volumes across the group. While these initiatives successfully increased throughput and stock holding, they also resulted in a higher cost of sales In the short term. As a result, the overall profitability has declined from a profit before taxation in 2024 of $73k to a loss before taxation of $6,856k. During the year, there has been a decrease in cash of $3,819k this is due to payments made to secure the increase in stock holding and throughput and as a result of the loss for the year of $6,818k offset by a net receipt of loan financing of $3,075k.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
