Material uncertainty over going concern
While the directors are confident that the Company can meet its obligations as they fall due, the presence of ongoing economic uncertainty, reliance on continued trading performance, and the successful implementation of both the cost-saving and marketing plans give rise to a material uncertainty that 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
