Material uncertainty over going concern
Further significant fundraising is required in 2025 to support the groups operations and allow it to meet its liabilities as they fall due. This process is at a very advanced stage at the date of approval of these financial statements. Whilst the directors have every expectation that significant further funds will be raised in 2025, the completion of such fundraising is not wholly within the control of the group. Accordingly, a material uncertanty exists which may cast significant doubt on the groups 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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | -56.3% | -206.7% | |
| Current ratio | 18.96x | 7.72x | |
| Interest cover | -201437.68x | -32364.38x |
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.
