Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company has a positive cash position but continues to be reliant on financial support from its Parent Company James Fisher and Sons PLC in the form of continued access to pooled cash... the Directors have concluded that it remains appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The Directors of JFS and the Directors of the intermediate holding company, James Fisher Holdings Limited, have indicated their intention to make available such funds as are needed by the Company and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts due at the balance sheet date, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

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
