In assessing going concern, the directors have given due consideration to historical and current trading, together with forward looking projections. The directors have reviewed the cash position of its immediate and ultimate parent entity, and believes that the parent entities will have sufficient financing to ensure cash flows for the next twelve months in order to provide financial support to the Company should it be required. As such, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
