- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability for the business to continue as a going concern, or its ability to remain solvent, and on that basis the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The KSA construction market has experienced a marked slowdown 2024, which has even continued through the first three quarters of 2025. This deceleration is largely attributed to a strategic realignment of government investment priorities and a broader update to national development strategies.”
- “The UAE market remains strong and highly active, with sustained momentum in both public and private sector investments throughout 2024. Abu Dhabi is seeing increased activity, particularly in large-scale, complex commercial and mixed-use developments that are scheduled to commence later in the year 2025. Dubai continues to provide a broad spectrum of private sector opportunities.”
