Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- KPMG LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “The provision for redundancy of employees made in 2024 was driven by a Management decision to carry out organisational structural changes impacting all employees of the branch. The provision was fully utilized in 2025.”
- “Other provision represented a potential compensation to be paid to distributors relating to estimated write-off costs incurred as a result of product change transition in the market driven by enactment of the Public Health Act: Public Health (Restrictions on Tobacco Products) Regulations 2022 in the Republic of Mauritius. In December 2025, the products have been assessed as adequate for resale following a freshness test performed, hence the provision was reversed.”
