Material uncertainty over going concern
Although the directors currently have no reason to believe that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern post-separation, the inability to fully assess the future financial and operational framework of the Company following the transaction indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
