[Annual Report 2026]() (Directors report financial review and note 9) ## Evidence gaps - Independent education, professional memberships and complete dates of Evolution and Alkane roles are unverified. - Person-specific adverse searches were limited to the two combined queries logged; no separate comprehensive regulator, litigation, safety, environment, fraud or governance searches were completed. - Current environmental manager was announced in 2026 but identity and continuing role were not established from opened materials. - The 30 October September-quarter filing was not opened; later reported activity and cash data are not verified here. - Retrospective search-log audit relied on the contemporaneous research checkpoint; the original tool-call transcript was unavailable to this audit, so exact query execution could not be independently reverified.
