Material uncertainty over going concern
In making these assumptions, the directors acknowledge that in the current uncertain economic climate, together with the sensitivity of these assumptions on the forecast headroom, that if forecasts are not met the Company will require further funding which has not yet been committed. Therefore, in the Directors' opinion this represents a material uncertainty which may cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

Significant events
