Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw your attention to Note 1.2 to the Company financial statements which explains that the company has finance in place until June 2026 (which is less than 12 months from the approval of the financial statements). In addition, the group has not operated at a profit since 2021.The loss after tax in the year amounted to £5,169,925 (2023 - £6,584,205). At the balance sheet date, the company had net liabilities of £15,766,831 (2023 - £10,504,541). These conditions along with the other matters as set out in Note 1.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
