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

“The financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting. In making their assessment on the appropriateness of using the going concern basis, the Directors have considered any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the continuing use of the going concern basis of accounting in future periods. The Directors have considered a period of 12 months from the date the financial statements are expected to be authorised for issue. The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out within the Strategic report. The financial position of the Company is as shown in the statement of financial position on page 14. At 30 April 2025, the Company reported net current liabilities of €31,243,000 (2024: €22,644,000) and net liabilities of €28,373,000 (2024: €21,192,000). The financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting. The Company has been issued a support letter from its intermediate parent company, DS Smith Limited, confirming ongoing financial support in meeting liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the day of approval of accounts. DS Smith Limited has undertaken its own assessment of going concern, which it has confirmed and this is disclosed on page 23 of the Group's 2024/25 Annual Report. The Directors are satisfied that no events took place after the release of the Group's 2024/25 Annual Report that give rise to any uncertainties relating to going concern, and accordingly the Directors considered it is appropriate to rely upon this support in making their going concern assessment for these financial statements. The Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to meet its operational needs for a period of at least 12 months from the day of approval of accounts and accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
