“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “On 28 February 2025, a subsidiary undertaking, OBG Pharmaceuticals Limited, executed a share charge in favour of HSBC UK Bank plc over its entire holding of 1 ordinary share in Richard Baker Harrison (Ireland) Limited, a fellow subsidiary undertaking and a private company limited by shares in Ireland with company number 640715. The charge constitutes a fixed charge and includes a negative pledge over the shares and associated rights, securing all present and future liabilities of the company to HSBC UK Bank plc under its existing banking arrangements. The charge does not affect the company's assets or liabilities as at the balance sheet date.”
- “On 20 March 2025, a subsidiary undertaking, Richard Baker Harrison Limited, entered into a deed of pledge of shares, whereby they pledged their shares in Faber & VanderEnde B.V to HSBC UK Bank plc as security for obligations under the invoice discounting facility. This arrangement provides HSBC UK Bank plc with a first ranking right of pledge over the secured assets as security which can be enforced in the event of default under the facility. The deed of pledge does not affect the company's operational control or shareholding structure as of the balance sheet date.”
- “On 1 April 2025, the company, OBG Holding Limited, passed a resolution to sub-divide its share capital. The existing 40 ordinary shares of £0.10 each were sub-divided into 400 ordinary shares of £0.01 each. The aggregate nominal value of the share capital remained unchanged at £4.00. Each ordinary share carries full rights in the company with respect to voting, dividends, and distributions, including on a winding up. The shares are not redeemable.”
- “On 25 July 2025, a subsidiary undertaking, Hubron (International) Limited, entered into a chattel mortgage agreement to finance items of plant and machinery with a value of £308,700. This event does not effect amounts recognised in the financial statements as of the balance sheet date.”
