“Directors prepared cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months from signing these financial statements, reflecting downside plausible scenarios, and as at the date of signing of the financial statements it is expected that the Company will have sufficient cash to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business. The business has achieved a further increase in turnover in the first half of 2025 and is on course to grow its business further in the second half of the year. The Company is in a net current assets position as at year end, 31st December 2024 following a net current asset position for year ended, 31st December 2023. However, the entity is placing reliance on letter of support from Bausch + Lomb Corporation, which is part of the ultimate parent Company's structure and is an intermediate parent of the Company. Bausch + Lomb Corporation, intends to support the Company for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company applies going concern assumption in preparing its financial statements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
