- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption and the directors have confirmed that this was realistic at the time the financial statements were approved.”
Significant events
- “Following the balance sheet date, escalated tensions in the Middle East led to further disruptions along major international maritime trade routes.”
- “While the company's and group's current operations remain resilient, the broader economic consequences including localised supply constraints and changes to transport pricing-cannot be reliably quantified at this stage.”
