Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors recognise that these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exist which may cast significant doubt on the Group and the Company's ability to continue as going concerns and, therefore, the Group and the Company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Directors are confident that the Group and the Company will be able to secure the additional liquidity, and if required, raise additional shareholder funding. Therefore, the Directors concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the Group and the Company's financial statements on a going concern basis.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
