Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors have therefore determined it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. However, because there is uncertainty over the Company securing the potentially significant licence agreement and in securing and delivering new business, otherwise securing additional finance within a limited timescale, or the outcome of its strategic review, there remains material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue to trade 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
