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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “it was also necessary to impair the carrying value of a stock vessel by £1m to reflect current market value of the vessel in Europe. This impairment adjustment reduced the trading profit before tax of the ship repair division to £76,351.”
- “An opportunity arose to sell a converted barge which was not operating profitably and this sale brought valuable cash into the business. The sale resulted in a book loss of £370,781 which impacted on the trading result of the subsidiary company.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
