Going concern

Affirmed

“Furthermore, the directors consider that they have sufficient mitigating actions (such as direct variable costs, and delaying capex spend) within their control that could reduce the impact of plausible downward scenarios. Based on this assessment, and with the continued support of its parenty entity and investors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have concluded it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
