Material uncertainty over going concern
As the group is reliant on obtaining further funding which is not guaranteed to be received, this indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Directors consider that the funding is highly likely to be forthcoming and therefore that the use of going concern basis of preparation is 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
