“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The company meets its day to day working capital requirements from operational cash flows, intercompany loan, cash pooling arrangements and trading balances with the group headed by Huhtamaki Oyj, the ultimate parent company. These forecasts indicate that, in both the base and reasonably possible downsides, the Company will require additional funds, through approval to access the cash pooling arrangement managed by Huhtamaki Oyj to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Huhtamaki Oyj has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company during the going concern assessment period. 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, 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, for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due 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
