- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based upon the availability of its drawn and undrawn loan facilities and having reviewed the Company's future forecast cash flows, the Directors expect the Company to be a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements and therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The Company made a profit for the financial year of £20,700k (2023: £10,100k). The Company profited from the sale of a vessel in 2023 the increase in profits for 2024 was primarily as a result of an adjustment the deferred tax on entering the UK Tonnage Tax Regime.”
- “The announcement of tariffs on international trade by US president Donald Trump in April 2025 triggered a period of volatility on global stock markets.”
- “In early 2025, the Company was one of three group companies formally accepted by HRMC into the UK tonnage tax regime. This will result in all of the Company's four vessels falling out of normal taxation to a system of fixed taxation based on net tonnage from 1st January 2025.”
