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

• “As for many businesses of this size, the business environment in which the company operates continues to be challenging.”
• “Foreign exchange fluctuations can no longer be considered a secondary risk and given the volatility in the foreign currency market due to worldwide political events, the directors have evaluated several options to mitigate risk/implement risk management strategies.”
• “Whilst inflation has dropped in the UK this risk is being closely monitored, due to numerous overseas suppliers and constant changes in the worldwide economy. Procurement becomes more complex during inflationary periods, and if increased costs are not controlled adequately then demand typically falls.”
• “Understanding Political and Geopolitical issues is critical for stakeholders in the shipping industry to navigate the complexities and mitigate risks associated with these dynamics.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
