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

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events

- “staff structure reviews, resulting in some major amendments to departmental structures.”
- “considerable shift in our commercial activity, with the start of direct invoicing for our terminal activities.”
- “challenges through 2024 with part shortages and lower vessel volumes.”
- “Our staff restructure is one of the biggest areas of improvement for us.”
