Material uncertainty over going concern
No such request is reasonably expected to be made within the next twelve months and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, the Company's performance, and dependence on the support of senior note holders represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate.

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
