“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 group's and parent 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.”

- “Interest rates are managed by fixed and variable rate arrangements and agreements and as we enter into the latter half of 2025, it is hpped that rates and inflationary pressures will soften.”
