Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors believe that the Company has adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future, being not less than twelve months from the date of the Directors' approval of the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. In making this conclusion, the Directors have considered the letter of support the Company received from Akzo Nobel N.V., and Akzo Nobel N.V.'s ability to support the Company's funding requirements as they fall due. This support is made available for the foreseeable future. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue, although as at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
