Material uncertainty over going concern
The ongoing need to refinance existing facilities and key suppliers represents inherent uncertainty, even though the directors are confident of a positive resolution. This represents a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and therefore it's ability to provide the necessary financial support to enable the company to realise its assets and discharge its 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
