Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements which reflect the Company's contracted drilling rig charters and related variable costs. The Company has only limited fixed costs. These forecasts indicate that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”
