“In 2024, the global economy has stayed stable with inflation starting to fall in many major economies and their central banks shifting monetary policy away from a tightening bias. The Company has net current assets and positive shareholder's funds as at 31 December 2024 and generated a profit for the year. Based on these considerations, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis.”
