Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have performed a going concern assessment based on the cash flows and future business operations. Based on that assessment, management have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to meet its liabilities for a period of 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements. This expectation is based on confirmation that Vodacom Group Limited will continue to support the company for the next 12 months following the signing of the financial statements, provided that the Group (and its subsidiaries) remains a subsidiary of Vodacom Group Limited during that period. There isn't a proposed disposal or disposal process in progress for VBAGS in the going concern period. The parent company's support is limited to USD 7.4 million. Thus, management continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “VBA (Mauritius) Limited is in the process of deregistration in the 2026 financial year. This will indirectly impact VBAGS as VBA (Mauritius) Limited will distribute its shares held in Vodacom UK Limited (VBAGS' parent entity) to Vodacom Business Africa Group Proprietary Limited. This is a non-adjusting event after the reporting period.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
