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 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
- “Over the year the Company's turnover reduced as the business encountered soft global commodity pricing. At the same time, the profit for the financial year increased from £4.2m to £8.3m as the Company focused on better and more profitable contracts ergaging with stronger counterparties and improving the Company's access to markets.”
- “Major world events, particularly the conflict in Ukraine and ongoing war in the Middle East continue to challenge international shipping routes. The US election campaign contributed to volatility in the markets which the Company was able to take advantage of by adapting and reacting timeously to occasional short-term mismatching in pricing through its simplified management structure.”
- “The company has three directors (two prior to 28 June 2024), all of whom have representation on the Board. The full Board consists of two members, both of whom are also owners of the group.”
