These are Buck's statements to the accounts:
2014
"With DSM making good progress in the marketplace it remains our belief that products addressing blood flow and circulation issues represent a long-term opportunity in the functional food sector. With the Company's very low operational costs we are well positioned to drive value for shareholders, and we remain positive about the outlook for the Fruitflow® business."
2015
"The past year has seen a number of very positive developments for the business, and with the Company's low operational costs we are well positioned to drive value for shareholders. We remain positive about the outlook for the business for the coming year and beyond."
2016
"The past year has seen a number of very positive developments for the business, and we expect to build on these in the coming year with a number of promising initiatives which seek to give Fruitflow® further global exposure. We remain positive about the outlook for Fruitflow® and the business for the coming year and beyond."
2017
"The past year has seen a number of very positive developments for the business, and with the Company's low operational costs we are well positioned to drive value for shareholders. We remain positive about the outlook for the business for the coming year and beyond."
2018
"The Group has seen a strong start to the 2018/19 financial year, with first quarter revenues, including further marketing support received, ahead of first half revenues in 2017/18.
The Company is well placed to maximise the numerous commercial opportunities which the Company has been pursuing for Fruitflow , to include its collaboration with BY-HEALTH in the vast Chinese market.
The Company would like to thank its investors for their continued support, and it remains positive about the outlook for Fruitflow and the Provexis business for the coming year and beyond."
Notice how the mention of "driving value" was mentioned for three of the years. What I didn't realise is that it meant driving value down which has been the outstanding success story of the Company.
He loves the word "positive" doesn't he?
