Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial statements which indicates that the group incurred a net loss of £3,035,412 during the year ended 31 December 2024 and, as of that date, the group had a profit and loss account deficit of £9,200,622. As stated in Note 3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
