“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 group's and the parent 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
- “The year 2025 represented one of the most challenging and strategically important periods for the global cable industry in recent history. Rising geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressure on raw materials, volatility in energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and increasing international competition created a highly unstable environment for industrial manufacturers across Europe and the United Kingdom. Against this backdrop, Tratos UK Ltd successfully protected its operational continuity, safeguarded employment, maintained production capability, strengthened customer relationships, and continued investing in long-term strategic growth.”
