- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Colpac was acquired by Sabert UK Ltd on the 31st July 2025.”
- “Neil Goldman very sadly passed away in September 2024 after a long term illness.”
- “As Colpac was sold shortly after the year-end, there was a reasonable expectation of this as of 31 March 2025 and hence a share-based payment charge has been recognised.”

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
