Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the director has concluded that the Company can continue to adopt the going concern basis.”

There is also ongoing geopolitical instability from conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The company faces risks associated with attracting and retaining skilled employees.

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
