“We have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

- “On 1 October 2024 the group acquired an additional 35% of the issued capital of Australian Salon Professional Pty, increasing total shareholding to 80%.”
- “The relaunch of the largest retail range in 2025 is expected to refresh the brand and drive renewed customer engagement.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
