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

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The directors acknowledge that: i) the requirement for additional funding to be obtained by the end of October 2026; and ii) that the Company would not have sufficient funds to repay the £7m loan notes in the unlikely event repayment was requested subsequent to July 2026 represents material uncertainties which may cast doubt over the ability of the Group and the Company to continue as a going concern for the period to 31 October 2026. However, the Directors expect to obtain additional funding and do not expect the loan notes to be recalled based on the significant interest from multiple investors and the ongoing conversations with the current investors. Therefore, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will be able to continue in operation for the going concern period.”
