“Given the solvent net asset position of the Group and the sufficient cash that it currently holds and availability of resources for the Company, the Directors consider that the Group and the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for a period up to 30 November 2026 and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group and Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period up to 30 November 2026.”
