Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation [Text Block] | 1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation SusGlobal Energy Corp. ("SusGlobal") was formed by articles of amalgamation on December 3, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its executive office is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SusGlobal, a company in the start-up stages and Commandcredit Corp. ("Commandcredit"), an inactive Canadian public company, amalgamated to continue business under the name of SusGlobal Energy Corp. On May 23, 2017, SusGlobal filed an Application for Authorization to continue in another Jurisdiction with the Ministry of Government Services in Ontario and a certificate of corporate domestication and certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under which it changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Ontario to the State of Delaware (the "Domestication"). In connection with the Domestication each of the currently issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into common shares compliant with the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Shares"). As a result of the Domestication, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), SusGlobal continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of SusGlobal and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its principal location and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. SusGlobal filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Shares and this registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2017. On December 11, 2018, the Company began trading on the OTCQB venture market exchange, under the ticker symbol SNRG. SusGlobal is a renewables company focused on acquiring, developing and monetizing a global portfolio of proprietary technologies in the waste to energy and regenerative products application. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of SusGlobal and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp. ("SECC"), SusGlobal Energy Canada I Ltd. ("SGECI"), SusGlobal Energy Belleville Ltd. ("SGEBL"), SusGlobal Energy Hamilton Ltd. ("SEHL") and 1684567 Ontario Inc. ("1684567") (together, the "Company"), have been prepared following generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X, and are expressed in United States Dollars. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian Dollar ("C$"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. |

Going Concern [Abstract] | |
Going Concern [Text Block] | 2. Going Concern The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. The Company incurred a net loss of $3,981,950 (2022-$5,091,895) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and as at that date had a working capital deficit of $24,380,581 (December 31, 2022-$21,580,552) and an accumulated deficit of $34,327,147 (December 31, 2022-$30,345,197) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. On February 18, 2021, PACE Savings and Credit Union Limited ("PACE") and the Company reached a new agreement to repay all amounts owing to PACE on or before July 30, 2021. Management was not able to meet the July 30, 2021, deadline. On August 13, 2021, PACE agreed to allow the Company until August 31, 2021, to bring the arrears current and continue to September 2022, the original maturity date. Management was not able to meet the August 31, 2021, deadline. On November 15, 2021, the Company paid all arrears to PACE and PACE agreed to allow the Company to continue payments to the end of the terms of each obligation, September 2022. Similarly, the Company paid all arrears to PACE on March 15, 2022, and PACE allowed the Company to continue payments to the end of the terms of each obligation, September 2022. On March 28, 2023, the Company and PACE negotiated a full and final mutual release of all obligations owing to PACE. Management continues discussions with equity investors to raise the necessary funds to repay other creditors. The Company was successful in extending the repayment date on a 1st mortgage which had a maturity date of September 1, 2022, to December 1, 2023. One of the Company's significant customer contracts expired at the end of December 31, 2020, and one customer contract was terminated by the Company in September of 2021. These factors cast substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business, satisfy its obligations to its creditors, and upon achieving profitable operations through revenue growth. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements [Text Block] | 4. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted The following section provides a description of new accounting pronouncements ("Accounting Standard Update" or "ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are applicable to the Company. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures ("ASU 2022-02"), which requires enhanced disclosure of certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty while eliminating certain current recognition and measurement accounting guidance. This ASU also requires the disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. ASU No. 2022-02 became effective for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2023. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023. As a result, the adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have any impact on the opening balances in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU-2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023. As a result, the adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have any impact on the opening balances in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no new accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted that were expected to have a material impact on the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations in the current or future periods. |

Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments [Text Block] | 5. Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, such as cash, funds held in trust, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the long-term debt, obligations under capital lease and convertible promissory notes also approximates fair value due to their market interest rate. Interest, Credit and Concentration Risk Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk on the current portion of its long-term debt of $3,946,267 (C$5,224,768) (December 31,2022-$7,285,747; C$9,868,274). Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to perform its payment obligations. As at June 30, 2023, the Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and trade receivables. As at June 30, 2023, the Company's cash was held with reputable Canadian chartered banks and a United States of America bank. With regards to credit risk with customers, the customers' credit evaluation is reviewed by management and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize the risk of loss. The Company believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for by the allowance for doubtful accounts is inherent in accounts receivable. As at June 30, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $nil (C$nil) (December 31, 2022-$nil; C$nil). As at June 30, 2023, the Company is exposed to concentration risk as it had four customers (December 31, 2022-four customers) representing greater than 5% of total trade receivables and four customers (December 31, 2022-three customers) represented 91% (December 31, 2022-90%) of trade receivables. The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. These customers accounted for 90% (16%, 35% and 39%) (June 30, 2022-71%; 21% and 50%) of total revenue. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company takes steps to ensure it has sufficient working capital and available sources of financing to meet future cash requirements for capital programs and operations. Management is considering all its options to repay its creditors. Refer also to going concern, note 2. The Company actively monitors its liquidity to ensure that its cash flows and working capital are adequate to support its financial obligations and the Company's capital programs. In order to continue operations, the Company will need to raise capital, and complete the refinancing of its real property and organic waste processing and composting facility. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. Refer also to going concern, note 2. Currency Risk Although the Company's functional currency is the C$, the Company realizes a portion of its expenses in United States Dollars ("$"). Consequently, certain assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. As at June 30, 2023, $258,825 (December 31, 2022-$80,843) of the Company's net monetary liabilities were denominated in $. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce the exposure to currency risk. |

Funds Held in Trust [Text Block] | 6 Funds Held in Trust The Funds held in trust at June 30, 2023, in the amount of $944,125 (C$1,250,000), relate to a full and final mutual release of all obligations owing to PACE, including accrued interest, in exchange for an amount of $944,125 (C$1,250,000). The funds are held in escrow by the Company's Canadian legal counsel. The funds will be released to PACE once the letter of credit, in the amount of $209,090 (C$276,831) is released by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (the "MECP") to PACE and the Company replaces with the new letter of credit in the amount of $481,607 (C$637,637).

The actual principal outstanding on the balance of the convertible promissory notes as at June 30, 2023 is $6,680,933 (December 31, 2022-$5,825,260), including accrued interest of $470,773 (2022-$nil). (a) Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the interest rate on the October 2021 Investor Notes will immediately accrue at 24% per annum and be paid in cash monthly to the October 2021 Investors, until the default is cured. And the Conversion Price will be reset to 85% of the lowest volume weighted average price for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the applicable conversion date. On May 11, 2022, the holder of the October 29, 2021 investor note, provided an amendment for an optional conversion of his investor notes. The conversion price was amended to be (i) the product of the Liquidity Event price multiplied by the discount of 35% (previously 30%) or (2) the greater of (i) the product of the closing price per share of the Company's Common Stock as reported by the applicable trading market on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date multiplied by the discount (35%) or $1.70 multiplied by the discount (35%), provided that in the event of a conversion, of investor note, at a time that a Liquidity Event shall not have previously occurred and be continuing, the conversion price for such conversion shall be as provided in the amendment. On August 16, 2022, the Company was sent a notice of default from one of the October 2021 Investors, whose investor note was issued on October 29, 2021. On September 15, 2022, the Company and the investor of the October 2021 investor note entered into an amendment to the October 2021 investor note which served as a cure to the previously issued default notice. Pursuant to the September 15, 2022 amendment, the Company and the October 29, 2021 investor, agreed that the outstanding principal amount of the October 29, 2021 investor note would increase by 10% to $1,618,100 from the previously issued principal amount of $1,471,000. The new agreed upon maturity date was changed to November 15, 2022, subject to certain conditions and the maturity date would automatically be extended to January 15, 2023 provided that the October 29, 2021 investor does not notify the Company in writing prior to the maturity date that the automatic extension of the maturity date has been cancelled. In connection with this amendment, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to promptly facilitate the conversion of the October 29, 2021 investor note into shares of the Company's common stock. Further, the October 29, 2021 investor agreed not to convert more than $100,000 in any one conversion notice and the October 29, 2021 investor agreed not to issue an additional conversion notice unless and until any previously issued conversion shares have been sold by the October 29, 2021 investor or exceed 10% of the daily trading volume in selling the shares of the Company's common stock On September 21, 2022 and November 10, 2022, the October 29, 2021 investor issued conversion notices to the Company and the Company issued 372,090 common shares at conversion prices ranging from $0.1885 to $0.2339 per share respectively, on the conversion of $25,000 and $50,000 respectively, of the October 29, 2021 investor note, having a fair market value of $97,129 on conversion. The October 29, 2021 investor has not informed the Company of an extension to the current maturity date but continued to issue conversion notices to the Company prior to the default notice of June 8, 2023, noted below. On December 22, 2022, the October 28, 2021 investor, whose October 28, 2021 investor note had a previous Principal Amount of $294,118 and a maturity date of July 28, 2022, provided the Company with an amendment whereby the maturity date of the October 28, 2021 investor note was extended to the earlier of July 28, 2023 or the occurrence of a Liquidity Event. In addition, the Company agreed that the investor could convert his October 28, 2021, investor note into shares of the Company's common stock at any time at the investor's option. Previously, the October 28, 2021 Note was only convertible upon the occurrence of the Liquidity Event. The Company also agreed to change the conversion price to be the lowest trading bid price of the Company's common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date multiplied with a 35% discount to that lowest price. Previously, the conversion price was a 30% discount to the price at which the securities were sold in connection with the Liquidity Event. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date, the Company agreed to issue the investor 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company used the with-and-without method to allocate the proceeds between the convertible promissory note and the common shares. As a result, all the proceeds were allocated to the convertible promissory note and $nil to the common shares. On June 8, 2023, the October 29, 2021 investor's counsel sent the Company a notice of default on the October 29, 2021 investor note and the March 2022 Investor Notes, described below. The default was caused by the holders of these promissory notes not being able to receive shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 (the "Common Stock") pursuant to the conversion terms of these promissory notes. All cure periods available pursuant to the promissory notes had expired prior to June 8, 2023. The October 29, 2021 investor note had a principal balance of $1,300,000 before and after the default and the March 2022 Investor Notes, whose principal balance totaled $2,640,000 prior to the notice of default, increased by 20% or $528,000 in total as a result of the notice of default. In addition, default interest at the rate of 24% per annum accrued on the March 2022 Investor Notes and totaled $424,946 the June 8, 2023. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the October 29, 2021 investor provided the Company with notices of conversion to convert in total $100,000 and $243,100 respectively, of his investor note having a fair value on conversion of $153,846 and $374,000 respectively, for 601,296 and 1,650,709 respectively, of common shares of the Company. The conversion prices per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 ranged from $0.1333 to $0.3400 and $0.1294 to $0.1364 respectively. The Company initially reserved 1,905,000 of its authorized and unissued Common Stock (the "October 2021 Reserved Amount"), free from pre-emptive rights, to be issued upon conversion of the October 2021 Investor Notes. (b) The maturity date of the Notes is the earlier of (i) June 3 and 7, 2022, and (ii) the occurrence of a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Notes) (the "Maturity Date"). The final payment of the Principal Amount (and default interest, if any) shall be paid by the Company to the Investors on the Maturity Date. On an event of default, the principal amount of the March 2020 Investor Notes will increase to 120% of their original principal amounts. The Investors are entitled to, following an event of default, (as defined in the March 2022 Investor Notes) to convert all or any amount of the Principal Amount and any interest accruing at the default interest rate of 24% per annum into Common Stock, at a conversion price (the "Conversion Price") equal to 70% (representing a 30% discount) multiplied by the price per share of the Common Stock at any national security exchange or over-the-counter marketplace for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the March 2022 Investors' notice of conversion. On May 11, 2022, the holder of the March 3, 2022 Investor Note and on May 13, 2022, the holder of the March 7, 2022 Investor Note, each provided an amendment for an optional conversion of their investor notes. The conversion price was amended to be (i) the product of the Liquidity Event price multiplied by the discount of 35% (previously 30%) or (2) the greater of (i) the product of the closing price per share of the Company's Common Stock as reported by the applicable trading market on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date multiplied by the discount (35%) or $1.70 multiplied by the discount (35%), provided that in the event of a conversion, of his investor note, at a time that a Liquidity Event shall not have previously occurred and be continuing, the conversion price for such conversion shall be as provided in amendment for each. Further, on June 29, 2022, the March 2022 Investors revised their March 2022 Investor Notes, to extend the maturity date to August 15, 2022 and increase the principal amount of each of the March 2022 Investor Notes by twenty percent (20%), from a Principal Amount of $2,000,000 to $2,400,000. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 100,000 common shares to the March 2022 Investor. These restricted shares of the Company's common stock will survive a reverse stock split prior to listing. The common shares were issued on July 11, 2022. The restructurings were accounted for as extinguishments as they were renegotiated after maturity. On August 16, 2022, the Company was sent notices of default from the March 2022 Investors. And, on September 15, 2022, the Company and the March 2022 Investors entered into an amendment to the March 2022 Investor Notes which served as a cure to the previously issued default notices. Pursuant to the September 15, 2022 amendment, the Company and the March 2022 Investors agreed that the outstanding Principal Amount totaling $2,400,000 would increase by 10% to $2,640,000. The new agreed upon maturity date was now November 15, 2022, subject to certain conditions and the maturity date was extended to January 15, 2023. In connection with this amendment, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to promptly facilitate the conversion of the March 2022 Investor Notes into shares of the Company's common stock only after the October 29, 2021 investor note, as described under paragraph (a) above, has been fully converted. Further, in the event that the October 29, 2021 investor note has been fully converted and the conversion shares sold, thereafter, the March 2022 Investor Notes may both be converted at the March 2022 Investors' discretion on a pari-passu basis, provided, however, that no conversion shall exceed $50,000 for each of the March 2022 Investor Notes and each of the March 2022 Investors shall not sell more than 5% of the daily trading volume in selling the Company's shares of common stock. As noted above, on June 8, 2023 the counsel for the March 2022 Investors provided the Company with a notice of default. This resulted in the principal balance of the March 2022 Investor Notes increasing in principal from $2,640,000 in total to $3,168,000, in total. In addition, interest in accruing at the rate of 24% per annum. As at June 30, 2023, accrued interest of $470,773 (2022-$nil) is included in the convertible promissory notes balance. (c) The June 2022 Investor may convert the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest into the Company's common stock from time to time following an event of default ('Event of Default"), as defined in the June 2022 Investor Note, with interest accruing at the default interest rate of 15% per annum from the Event of Default, at a conversion price (the "Conversion Price") On December 29, 2022, the Company and the investor agreed to extend the maturity date to the earlier of June 23, 2023 or the occurrence of a Liquidity Event. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date, the Company agreed to: (i) increase the principal amount to $1,320,000.00 (the "Increased Principal Amount"); (ii) that interest is payable on the Increased Principal Amount and that such interest (but not any default interest that becomes due) is paid in full and in advance by the Company issuing to the June 2022 Investor 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock and (iii) issue to the June 2022 Investor 666,667 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Modification Fee Shares"). The parties agreed that the Modification Fee Shares served as an increase in the amount of commitment fee shares issued to the investor pursuant to the securities purchase agreement signed by the Company and the June 2022 Investor on June 23, 2022, in connection with the issuance of the June 2022 Investor Note. The Company used the with-and-without method to allocate the proceeds between the convertible promissory note and the common shares. As a result, all the proceeds were allocated to the convertible promissory note and $nil to the common shares. On June 29, 2023, the June 2022 Investor provided a 45-day extension of the June 2022 Investor Note in exchange for an increase in the principal balance of the June 2022 Investor Note of $100,000, from $1,320,000 to $1,420,000. The Company initially reserved 8,000,000 of its authorized and unissued Common Stock (the "June 2022 Reserved Amount"), free from pre-emptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the June 2022 Investor Note. Pursuant to the terms of the security purchase agreements for the convertible promissory notes described above, for so long as the noted investors own any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the applicable investor notes, the Company has covenanted to secure and maintain the listing of such shares of Common Stock. The Company is also subject to certain customary negative covenants under the investor notes and the security purchase agreements, including but not limited to the requirement to maintain its corporate existence and assets, require registration of or stockholder approval for the investor notes or the Common Stock upon the conversion of the applicable investor notes. The convertible promissory notes described above, contain certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default including if the Company is delinquent in its periodic report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would increase the amount of the principal and interest rates under the convertible promissory notes in the event of such defaults. In the event of a default, at the option of the applicable investor and in their sole discretion, the applicable investor may consider any of their convertible promissory notes immediately due and payable. Refer also to going concern, note 2. Fair value option for the convertible promissory notes The Company is eligible to elect the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments Gains and losses attributable to changes in credit risk were insignificant during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

In addition, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of convertible promissory notes of $nil and $nil (2022-$4,274,820 and $4,274,820).

Fair Value Measurement [Text Block] | 12. Fair Value Measurement The following table presents information about the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation: Fair value as at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 Using: Level 3 June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Assets: $ - $ - $ - Liabilities: Convertible promissory notes 9,639,990 9,639,990 7,796,433 $ 9,639,990 $ 9,639,990 $ 7,796,433 During each of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3. There were no financial assets or other liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The following table summarizes the change in Level 3 financial instruments during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Fair value at December 31, 2022 $ 7,796,433 $ 3,798,516 Fair value at issuance - 2,159,526 Amendments 2,180,923 - Conversions/repayments (336,578 ) (136,880 ) Mark to market (788 ) 7,663,844 Settlement - (5,688,573 ) Fair value at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 $ 9,639,990 $ 7,796,433 Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value of the convertible promissory notes at issuance and subsequent financial reporting dates was estimated based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represent level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the convertible promissory notes at issuance and at each reporting period was estimated based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company used a scenario-based binomial model to estimate the fair value of the convertible promissory notes. The model determines the fair value from a market participant's perspective by evaluating the payouts under hold, convert, or call decisions. The most significant estimates and assumptions used as inputs are those concerning type, timing and probability of specific scenario outcomes. Specifically, the Company assigned a probability of default, which would increase the required payout as described in note 11 and calculated the fair value under each scenario. At the issuance dates of the convertible promissory notes, the probability of default ("PD") was assumed to be 75% (2022-75%), except for those that were amended post maturity which were assumed to be 100%. The probability of default was determined in reference to a 1-year PD rate for a 'CCC+' rating at issuance, and a combination of 'CC' and 'CCC-' credit ratings at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Increasing (decreasing) the probability of default would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Other significant unobservable inputs include the expected volatility, discount for lack of marketability and the credit spread. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility over a look-back period that was consistent with the balance-remaining term of the instruments. A range of 104.1% to 141.2% was used for the expected volatility (2022-92% to 159%). The discount for lack of marketability was determined using a range of option pricing methodologies using the remaining restriction term corresponding to each instrument on the relevant valuation date. A range of 0% to 40% was used for the discount for lack of marketability. The credit spread was determined in reference to credit yields of companies with similar credit risk at the date of valuation. A premium of 10% was added to the credit spread as an instrument specific adjustment to reflect the Company's risk of default. A range of 24.39% to 25.18% (2022-24.4% to 25.6%) was used for the credit spread. Refer also to going concern, note 2. |
