Material uncertainty over going concern
It is anticipated that the future plans of the Group will be funded by a new equity raise from existing shareholders, the timing, quantum and terms of which have not yet been agreed at the date of approval of these financial statements. This indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group and Parent 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
