The directors have taken into account the enacted and potential legislative changes described in the Critical accounting estimates and assumptions section (see Note 2), which potentially could lead to a significant adverse impact on the business such that it may materially impair the group's ability to continue as a Going Concern in the medium to long term.

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
