Material uncertainty over going concern
In the unlikely, albeit possible, event that the Lenders demand repayment, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In those circumstances, the Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary should the going concern basis of preparation no longer be appropriate.
