Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1 to the financial statements, which indicates that the Company is reliant on its Group Parent Company for funding, and also not seeking repayment of the amounts due at year end, both of which are not guaranteed. The financial statements of the Group Parent Company included a material uncertainty related to going concern which may have a direct impact on the Group Parent Company's ability to provide the required financial support to the Company. As stated in note 1, these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that 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
