Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue to make available such funding as is required for the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. However, the matters set out above indicate that the Company remains dependent on the continued availability of Group support.”
