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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Rödl & Partner Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company is expected to continue to generate positive cash flows and as such the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able 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.”
Significant events
- “Revenues in 2024 were similar to 2023, with reduced selling prices for packaging materials due to lower raw material costs and several equipment orders falling into 2025 at the end of the year.”
- “The company continues to invest in our organisational structure and business premises.”
- “We plan to begin converting our fleet to fully electric vehicles and start capturing solar energy in 2025.”
- “The company has continued to measure our environmental impact. ... to improve our energy efficiency, we have over-clad our technical building roof with insulated panels.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
