Material uncertainty over going concern
The Group is reliant on securing further external funding which is not guaranteed and therefore the Group's consolidated financial statements included a material uncertainty related to going concern. This may have a direct impact on the Group's ability to provide the required financial support to the Company and as a result this indicates that a material uncertainty exists 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
