Material uncertainty over going concern
After making enquires, the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern. Further detail on going concern is on pages 43 to 45.

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
