- Going concern
- Affirmed
“While the company's standalone statement of financial position (SOFP) shows a negative net asset position due to intercompany transactions with Unitas (eliminated in the consolidated group accounts), the group's SOFP reflects a favourable net asset position... the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group & Company has adequate resources to operate for the foreseeable future. On the geopolitical front, there have been the Russia-Ukraine war that started in 2022, and the Israel-Palestine conflict that commenced in 2023. The directors are monitoring the impact of the conflict and the wider market contagion closely; however, there is minimal impact on the going business activity of the Company and Group.”

Significant events
- “On 7 October 2023, an armed conflict broke out between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip. The directors are monitoring the impact of the conflict and the wider market contagion closely; however, there is minimal impact on the ongoing business activity of the Company and Group.”
