Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“Melbourne Topco Limited has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts currently due to the Group during the going concern assessment period. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the Directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue, although as of the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
