Material uncertainty over going concern
The company incurred a net loss of £2,507,084 during the year ended 31 December 2024. The losses have resulted in a further diminution of its net assets and retained earnings. The directors are optimistic about the future, but are aware that potential delays in cash flow receipts from existing contracts, or from projects which are yet to be secured, would result in the company needing to obtain additional financing, the certainty of which cannot be guaranteed As stated in note 2.2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.2, indicate that material uncertainties exist that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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
