Material uncertainty over going concern
As this funding is not guaranteed, this indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Directors consider that the funding will be forthcoming and therefore the going concern basis of preparation is deemed appropriate.

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
