Material uncertainty over going concern
Based on the above, the directors believe it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, the circumstances described indicate there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt of the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable 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
