Material uncertainty over going concern
Material uncertainties exist that may cast significant doubt on the Group and Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, due to the need for additional funding beyond management's assessment period (to 31 December 2026) and uncertainties in revenue generation. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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
