Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company has returned to profitability and Magic Memories Group Holdings Ltd (the Parent) has agreed to provide continued financial support so that the Company can continue to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis; but acknowledge that the requirement for parental support creates a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
