Material uncertainty over going concern
These circumstances represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, having regard to the availability of the Term Loan entered into on 30 June 2025 and the cost coverage arrangements referred to above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in existence to at least the period prior to completion of the Acquisition.

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
