Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group and Parent Company will need to raise further funds within the 12 months following the date of approval of the financial statements, in order to continue to realise assets and meet liabilities in the normal course of business. As stated in note 1, these conditions indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as going concerns.

Significant events
- “On 21 March 2025, in conjunction with the Company's right issue, the Company entered into a short-term bridging loan of SEK 10 million (approx. £740k) with the underwriters of the rights issue to ensure that the Company had sufficient financial resources to continue advancing its projects ahead of the right issue being finalised. The bridging loan accrues interest of 1.5 per cent per 30-day period, has an administrative charge of 5 per cent and is repayable on 30 June 2025. On 8 May 2025 the Company announced the completion of the capital raise with a total of £2.2 million (SEK 28.1 million) gross raised to fund the development of the Company's assets through their next key valuation milestones. The net funds raised after the loan repayment and share issue transaction costs are £1.0 million.”

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
