Material uncertainty over going concern
The forecasts are subject to external market trends, the company's operational execution and the long-term availability of future funding. In light of such risks, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this material uncertainty, the directors remain confident in the strategy, future direction, and long-term plans of the business. The directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
