- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “In February 2026, a conflict escalated in the Middle East, affecting several countries in the region. Management is continuously monitoring this rapidly evolving situation to assess any potential impact the Company. As at the date of approval of these annual accounts, based on its assessment of the current situation and the information available, Manage does not envisage that this will have a material impact on the Company.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
