Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors consider that it is reasonable to expect that additional funds will be raised as required and, accordingly, have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, there can be no certainty that such funding will be obtained on acceptable terms, or at all. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
