Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, they also acknowledge that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to generate sufficient net revenues and resulting cash inflows and raise sufficient finance to meet its expected costs to discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Board does not believe that the Company's position at this point in the execution of its strategy is unusual. However, should the forecast revenue (in particular, royalty receipts and milestone receipts) not be achieved, the Company may require further funding, in excess of what is currently held by its parent company, within the going concern assessment period. As such funding is not committed, this indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, they may be unable to realise its assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business.

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
