Based upon the above, the Directors have concluded with reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources and support available to continue in operational existence for period from the issuance date of these financial statements to 30 June 2026. Thus, the Company Directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

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
