Material uncertainty over going concern
Note 1.2 in the financial statements indicates that the company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by £12.1m. These conditions, along with other matters, create a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Board acknowledges this.

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
