Going concern

Affirmed

“Given the company's considerable financial resources, stable customer contracts, and strategic risk management, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that Manupackaging U.K. Ltd has adequate resources to continue operations through May 2026. Accordingly, the going concern basis remains appropriate in the preparation of the annual report and financial statements.”

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
