Material uncertainty over going concern
While the Group actively manages key customer stakeholders where appropriate, the revenue anticipated to allow the Group to reach cash breakeven anticipated to be generated by these contracts is reliant on the actions of third parties and there remains risk that progress is not forthcoming in the timeframes anticipated by the Directors. As a result of uncertainties over the timing of commercialisation, the Directors consider there be a material uncertainty over the going concern status of the Group.

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
