Material uncertainty over going concern
Nevertheless, the requirement to renegotiate the Group's UK debt facility within the next 12 months and the potential need for uncommitted funds from the Group's investors indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, to continue realising their assets and discharging their liabilities in the normal course of business.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
