Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 101
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Deloitte LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved, the directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The trading activities during the financial year have resulted in a net trading loss of $958,000 (2024 net trading gain of $82,000).”
- “Operating profit of $3,538,000 (2024 operating loss of $980,000) was mainly driven by unrealized foreign exchange gains recognized during the year.”
- “The movement in total equity is attributed to the profit for the year and the payment of an interim dividend of $15,000,000 in December 2025.”
- “In December 2025, the directors considered the impact of such a decision on the long-term prospects of the company, as well as considering the financial position of the company to ensure that it has the sufficient distributable reserves at the time of the interim dividend.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
