Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that significant Group companies will continue as going concerns for a period of at least 12 months from the reporting date. As at December 31, 2019, the subsidiary, PGE Obrót S.A., reports negative equity, primarily due to negative developments on the retail electricity trading market. PGE Obrót S.A., like other PGE Group companies, has access to financing provided by PGE S.A., therefore the going concern for this company is justified.
Apart from the issue concerning PGE Obrót S.A., as at the date of authorisation of these financial statements for publication, no circumstances were identified which would indicate any threat to significant Group companies continuing as going concerns.
