Material uncertainty over going concern
Due to a number of factors beyond the control of the company, as the results for the current year have been below expectations, the company has relied heavily upon funding from the parent company. Results for the year to date and future forecasts show that the company will continue to be reliant upon ongoing support of the parent company. If this support were to be withdrawn, the company would need to seek alternative sources of funding. It is therefore considered that there is a material uncertainty over whether the going concern basis is appropriate in the long term.

Significant events
- “In March 2026, subsequent to the year end, the company entered into a sublease agreement in respect of Unit 5 at the Viables site. This event did not give rise to conditions existing at the balance sheet date and accordingly no adjustment has been recorded in the financial statements.”
