Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have therefore considered a downside scenario whereby no amounts swept to its intermediate parent entity are repaid and the Company continues to sweep all excess cash to the parent entity for a period of 2 months from the date of these financial statements as well as other plausible downside scenarios such as environmental factors that could impact the volume and quality of harvests, to demonstrate that the Company has sufficient cash resources for a period of at least 12 months from the date of authorisation of these financial statements, should any of the downside scenarios occur. Taking into account the base case and the downside scenarios modelled in cash flow forecasts over the going concern period, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-08-31 vs 2024-08-31

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
