“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. Following several years of disruption, with the Covid 19 pandemic and other challenges, 2024 was another year of transformation and recovery for the Intermediate Parent Company Group. Losses have stabilised and since 31 December 2024 and up to the date of approval of these accounts the Intermediate Parent Company Group has taken further actions to improve and strengthen its financial position. Further, via a letter of support, DP World Limited has indicated that it will make available necessary funding over the period of assessment of going concern.”
