Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have concluded that adequate financial resources are available to the parent to ensure that the Group can meet its obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and has therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. However, as this funding is not a legal liability, the directors have identified a material uncertainty that may cast doubt over the Group's ability to continue and therefore its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

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
