Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company is currently raising equity financing in a Series C round. That funding round (or an alternative funding mechanism) is necessary for the Company to continue as a going concern. Negotiations with investors are well advanced and the Directors have full confidence that the round will be concluded within the next couple of months. Nonetheless, they recognise that until the funding round is completed there is a material uncertainty in this regard.

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

| Interest cover | — | — | — | — | — | — | -5016.32x | — | -29673.52x | -449.12x |
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.
