Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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

Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“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.”
