“In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to assess the Company's ability to continue to trade as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Notwithstanding the reported loss for the year ended 31 December 2025 of £10.1m and net current liabilities of £1.8m as at 31 December 2025, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider to be appropriate.”
