Audit opinion

Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“Excluding potential financing from these sources, the Group's two-year cash flow forecast to 30 April 2027 with cash preservation measures in areas of uncommitted expenditure suggests it could continue to operate with cash currently held until August 2026, which is less than a year from the date of approval of these financial statements. While the Group has historically succeeded in securing further cash, financing from such sources is dependent on market conditions and the decisions of the Group's existing shareholders, potential investors, and existing or future potential collaboration partners. These stakeholders and potential receipts are not controlled by the Group, and material uncertainties therefore exist which may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-04-30 vs 2024-04-30

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
