Material uncertainty over going concern
Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, the directors acknowledge the presence of factors and risks, as described above, which mean that there is a possibility that continued support from the banks and parent company may not be available for the period for 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have therefore concluded that these conditions result in a material uncertainty which 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. 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
