Material uncertainty over going concern
Business operations are still in place, however there are plans underway for its immediate Parent entity, Milestone Group Pty Limited, to settle amounts due. Subsequent to this, it is the intention of the Directors that the company should be liquidated as soon as practicable, and the operations of the Company will become the responsibility of its Parent. As such, the financial statements have been prepared on a non-going concern basis. Post balance sheet date the entity received cash payment for the amounts due from its Parent. In addition, the Directors have the intention for the Company to be liquidated as soon as practicable and the employees and operations to be transferred to other affiliated entities.

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
