Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events

- “The Company's business is reliant on technology which is subject to the risk of failure, change and development.”
- “The Company operates in a highly competitive environment that is subject to rapid change and it must continue to invest to remain competitive.”
- “The failure of key suppliers could affect the Company's ability to operate as a business. The Company relies on a number of third parties and outsourced suppliers to support its supply chain.”

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
