  Material uncertainty over going concern

  We draw attention to note 1.3 to the financial statements, which indicates that if player trading results, and receipts from the Parent Company, which would be allocated against the intercompany receivable balances, were to be materially less than forecast the resulting conditions, if unresolved, would mean that the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As stated in note 1.3, these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group'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
