The auditor, KKC & Associates LLP, highlighted revenue recognition as a key audit matter, noting that revenue is recognised at a point in time when control is transferred, generally coinciding with agreed customer terms. The audit report also noted that the company used accounting software operated by a third-party service provider for payroll records, for which the auditor was unable to comment on the audit trail feature's operation. Additionally, inventory records were maintained manually in spreadsheets until December 7, 2025, which lacked an audit trail feature.
