Material uncertainty over going concern
A material uncertainty therefore exists which may cast significant doubt upon the parent company ability to provide the necessary support to the Group, when it is needed, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. Consequently, this condition gives rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the UK Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
