- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future after forecasting cash flows and considering risks and uncertainties, including the impact of inflation, uncertainties caused by US tariffs and the ongoing war in Middle East. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. As such, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The US government imposed a wide range of tariffs on several countries globally, serving to increase the uncertain business environment.”
- “The UK adopted its own international trade policy from 1 January 2021, including a new free trade agreement with the EU-27, which resulted in the loss of market share to the EU-27 and Northern Ireland because cane sugar refined in the UK does not meet the Rules of Origin criteria.”
- “The gas turbine DLE project at Thames was installed in 2024, reducing NOx emissions and improving reliability and efficiency.”
