Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

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

Affirmed

“For the financial year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported an operating loss of 5.4 million GBP. Following the successful transition to a standalone entity independent of its former parent, management have conducted a rigorous assessment of the Company's liquidity and capital structure. This assessment included a comprehensive review of the 2026-2027 Budgeted Forecasts, which incorporate projected R&D expenditure, intellectual property maintenance, and anticipated milestone inflows from pharmaceutical partners. Based on these projections and the Company's current cash position, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that F-star Therapeutics Ltd has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going-concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
