Material uncertainty over going concern
The Group and Company are dependent on additional funding being raised which is not guaranteed. Accordingly, this indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group's and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group and the Company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -182.6% | -138.2% | -63.2% | |
| Net margin | — | -151.8% | -22.4% | |
| Return on capital employed | — | -21.7% | -11.1% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 23.8% | 27.8% | 31.0% | |
| Current ratio | 0.42x | 0.53x | 0.46x | |
| Interest cover | -15.43x | -16.93x | -10.78x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.
