Material uncertainty over going concern
The Group is in a net current liabilities position as at the balance sheet date of £705,606 and is in discussions with key short-term creditors to agree to extended payment terms, in the event this extension was not agreed the Group would require additional finance to be raised to maintain liquidity. Furthermore, the directors have applied a severe but plausible stress test to their forecast to 31 December 2026 which also indicates that the Group would require additional funding to maintain liquidity and discharge its liabilities... The above two matters identify the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Whilst the Group has been successful in raising finance, there is a risk the Group is unable to secure the necessary refinancing or additional funding, potentially leading to an inability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Given these uncertainties, the Directors acknowledge a material uncertainty regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. However, after considering all available information about the future, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

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.
