Material uncertainty over going concern
The company made a loss for the year of £688,276 (2024: £1,016,090) and as at the balance sheet date had net current liabilities of £2,281,113 (2024: £1,932,777) and net liabilities of £1,386,575 (2024: 698,299). ... The lack of irrevocable secured arrangements for additional working capital being in place at the date of approval of the financial statements indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's and company's ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding the above uncertainty, the directors continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
