- Affirmed
“With support from British International Investment plc (BII), the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of issue of the financial statements. The Directors have considered the Company's accumulated loss position and therefore relies on BII to cover any ongoing expenses. In order to mitigate this, BII has issued a letter of support which confirms that BII will cover any ongoing expenses incurred by the Company as they fall due and will not demand repayment of amounts due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to 31 December 2024, the Company sold its 'NCDs' in Future Consumer Limited for US$8,475,651 and settlement of proceeds was concluded on 3 April 2025. The proceeds from this sale were used by the Company to settle the intercompany loan with BII and the transaction is an adjusting subsequent event which has been reflected in the fair value of the investment as at 31 December 2024.”
- “The tariffs recently announced by the US have caused market volatility on a global scale and are expected to have a significant impact on the geographies in which the Group invests.”
