Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 1.4 in the financial statements, which sets out that the Group's forecast cashflow is dependent on certain assumptions with regards to the group's financing activities. As stated in Note 1.4, these events or conditions along with the other matters as set forth in the note, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group and 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
