“At 30 June 2025, the company was in a net liability position. The directors have received confirmation that continuing financial support will be provided by the company's ultimate parent entity to enable it to settle its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and on that basis consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
