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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the Company's budget and plans, and the letter of support provided by the ultimate parent company Pleco Energy Limited, the Directors consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 17 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. To support the operations, the Directors believe the Company will be able to generate operating cash flows sufficient enough to cover the Company's operating expenses and to meet its obligations as they fall due. Therefore, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
