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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Auditor
- PKF Francis Clark
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On the basis of his assessment of the company's financial position and resources, the director believes that the company is well placed to manage its business risks. Therefore the director has a reasonable expectation that the company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and the director is satisfied that it remains appropriate for the company to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “A decline in turnover compared to the previous period continued in this period as anticipated following the removal of the High Risk Area in January 2023 and disruption to commercial shipping in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea following the conflict in Gaza.”
- “This reporting period followed the removal of the High Risk Area (HRA) on 1 January 2023 where Ambrey continued to offer an armed guard solution. The decline was not as significant as expected and following further Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November 2023, commercial shipping has experienced ongoing disruption. Conflict from the Gaza war continues to disrupt commercial shipping as owners opt to route round the Cape of Good Hope, however Ambrey remains positioned to support clients still able to transit through the Indian Ocean and Red Sea.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
