- 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
- “The Directors expect ongoing exchange rate volatility due to Geopolitical issues (e.g. the Middle East), which are also contributing to inflation and affecting customer sentiment. However, the Directors remain optimistic that the measures implemented will mitigate the impact on sales and margins in 2026.”
