“The directors believe that the company has adequate business and financial resources to continue to trade until 31 July 2026 which is more than 12 months after the approval of the financial statements and meet its obligations as they fall due. The directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis as they have also received assurance in the form of a letter of support from the ultimate parent company, DKSH Holding Limited, that it will continue to provide financial support until 31 July 2026.”

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
