“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Continued capital investment is planned during FY 2025/26, which will further enhance our capabilities. Notably, a new AMP line is set to become operational in 2026, which will significantly boost our production efficiency and capacity.”
- “Additionally, a new freeze dryer is scheduled to become operational in 2026. This will enhance our ability to preserve sensitive products, extend their shelf life, and improve storage and transportation efficiency.”
- “In 2024 the Company undertook discussions with an Energy Implementation Company whereby they would install Solar Photovoltaics (PV) at a proposed 1,891 kW rating with a projected year 1 carbon saving of 287 kgCO2e. Solar PV would then provide 22% of annual electricity used on site.”
