“The Company has generated a profit for the financial year of £1,244,498 (2023: £1,089,834). The Company is in a net asset position at year end of £3,036,615 (2023: £4,542,117). After reviewing forecast financial performance and considering the letter of financial support from the ultimate parent company, Zeus Packaging Group Limited, and after making other enquiries, the director has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the 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
