- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Like many other businesses, the company continues to encounter tough trading conditions including supply chain disruption, increased taxation, energy and transport costs, labour shortages and geopolitical instability. In the unlikely event it is required, the company's parent company, SHS Group Limited, has confirmed it will support the company for at least the period to 31 December 2026, making funds available to the company to enable it to meet its current liabilities arising as they fall due. The directors have considered and are satisfied that SHS Group Limited is capable of providing this support. Their review included review of cashflow forecasts, available facilities, downside scenarios as well as a worst case scenario, which the directors believe is remote. The directors therefore believe the Company has adequate resources to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Refer to Note 1 to further detail.”
