Material uncertainty over going concern
As set out in note 1.2, the company is reliant upon the ongoing support of its immediate and intermediate parent undertakings. Whilst letters of support have been received from those companies, this indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about 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
