Material uncertainty over going concern
However in the event that reasonable and plausible downside scenarios materialise and in the absence of successful mitigating actions then further financing may be required to meet the company's cash requirements which is not guaranteed. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company'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
