Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have considered the applicability of the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements. The preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Intelligent Packaging Sub Limited Partnership, the Company's intermediate parent undertaking, has provided a formal letter of support indicating its willingness to provide financial support to assist the Company in meeting its liabilities as and when they fall due, to the extent that money is not otherwise available to meet such liabilities, for a period of twelve months from the approval of these financial statements. On this basis the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “On 30 April 2025, the Companies ultimate parent announced its intention to merge with Schoeller Allibert, a manufacturer of reusable transport packaging solutions, primarily in Europe and headquartered in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands. The proposed merger, which is subject to certain closing conditions including the receipt of regulatory approvals, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.”

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
