Material uncertainty over going concern

This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the group's and the company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the group and the parent company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business.

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
