Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company's exposure to the guarantee, and the risk that the lenders withhold approval of the ongoing waivers, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements and have therefore used the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company were unable 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
