“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
- “The ongoing war in the Middle East has is being closely monitored by the directors. The group's direct investment exposure in the region is insignificant and, as at the date of approval of these financial statements, the group has no plans to expand its operations or investments in that region. Nevertheless, the group remains vigilant, as a prolongation of the war is likely to have indirect effects, including potential disruptions to global supply chains and upward pressure on costs arising from inflationary factors.”
