“The Directors believe that the Company has adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future, being not less than twelve months from the date of the Directors' approval of the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. ... Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
