- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on this assessment, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, geopolitical tensions and military escalation involving Iran have increased volatility in global oil and petrochemical markets. This additional uncertainty raises the possibility of supply and production disruption, given the Company's import of oil based products. Management subsequently considered the impact on costs, working capital, and supply chain. Having assessed the situation up to the date of signing, management conclude that based on their review, there will not be a material impact to the current year accounts, nor the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
