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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Therefore, the Directors are satisfied they have a reasonable basis upon which to conclude that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The ongoing challenges in the Suez Canal continues to impact the world economically. The impact on the RING business continues to be primarily linked to increases in product and freight costs associated with a reduction in global capacity and changes in shipping routes, which seems to have improved since the year end in terms of both cost and capacity.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
