“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
- “Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on 1 September 2025, the company changed its name from Atlas Converting Equipment Ltd to Kampf Machinery UK Ltd. This change reflects alignment with the branding of the wider group. The change in name does not affect the legal status of the entity, which continues to operate as the same company registered in the United Kingdom.”
- “At the end of 2024 global trade is exposed to several discussions and announcement in regard to extensive tariffs. Currently there are no clear implications to the machinery business. This may change any time and needs to be followed.”

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
