Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1b to the financial statements, which indicates that Haulfryn Group Limited (a company under common control)'s financing agreement with its bank is due to expire in August 2026, which is within the going concern period of 12 months from the date that the financial statements were authorised for issue. The financing agreement with the bank is partially secured over the assets of the Company. If Haulfryn Group Limited were unable to refinance or find alternative financing arrangements, they, together with the Company are not forecast to have sufficient funds to be able to repay the debt that would be due to the bank when the current facilities expire in August 2026. As stated in note 1b, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 1b, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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
