Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
The Company has ceased to act as an investment holding company following the sale of its investment in February 2024. The Company will continue to settle its existing debtor and creditor balances, and it is expected to be liquidated in due course. Therefore, the financial statements have been presented on a basis other than that of a going concern.
