Significant events

• “The Company continues to invest in the promotion of all its lines of business and results have continued during 2024. The sales trend in its core business along with the expanded product offering, will provide the greatest opportunity to successfully navigate the uncertain times during the current economic climate, with the addition of new customers through continued marketing initiatives.”
• “The global pandemic, the war in Ukraine and Israel, resulted in a cautionary approach to the expectations of 2025. Significant costs have continued to be incurred this period with a view to growing the business in the future.”

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
