- Affirmed
“At the reporting date the Group had net assets of $50,614k (30 June 2024: $56,792k) which includes cash and treasury deposits of $38,905k (30 June 2024: $42,291k cash and treasury deposits) having made a loss before tax for the 6 month period ended 31 December 2024 of $12,244k (year ended 30 June 2024: $24,228k). The Directors, after considering the cash resources of the Group at the reporting date and the cash flow forecast to 31 December 2027, consider it reasonable that the Group will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, defined as at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements, and therefore have prepared these financial statements on the going concern basis.”
