Material uncertainty over going concern
As such, and due to the Group's funding structure, the Company will be reliant on the continued funding from Group companies. The Company's ultimate parent, GoBrands Inc, for the provision of the financial support required for its continued operation for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Group company has prepared forecasts for 5 years in assessing the level of support required, which indicate that the Group will refinance certain debt facilities that mature within the going concern period in the ordinary course of business. Whilst the directors fully anticipate that continued financing or appropriate alternative financing solutions will be made available in due course, these circumstances represent 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
