- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On the 11th April, 2024, Green Light Packaging Limited demerged its air cushion business into a new entity called GLP Systems Limited. As part of the demerger a new parent company, Green Light Packaging Holdings Limited, acquired Green Light Packaging Limited via a share for share exchange.”
- “Following the demerger, on the 25th March, 2025, GLP Systems Limited was sold to GLP Systems EOT Trustees Limited.”
- “On the 11th December, 2024, a resolution was passed by the Heygate and Sons Limited group of companies entering into an agreement limiting the amount of any liability owed to the group of companies by the auditor in respect of any negligence, default or breach of duty occurring in the course of the audit of the financial statements for the year ending 29th March, 2025.”
