- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On the basis of their assessment of the Group's financial position and resources, including financial forecasts for the 12 months subsequent to the date of signing the financial statements, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks and a letter of support is in place from DecoPac Holdings Inc. Therefore the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
