- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “Menzolit Ltd will continue to invest in upgrading the plant and training for the workforce to maintain its competitiveness. Significant investments for in-house capabilities are planned for 2026. The company will reinforce its very close relationship with key customers, to provide a foundation to grow and expand the business organically.”
- “In collaboration with sister companies in Spain and Italy, the company continues to develop new products, and several new products are expected to be launched during the next financial year.”
