Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 (Going Concern) of the financial statements, which indicates that the company recorded a profit of £1.19 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 (2023: loss of £4.01 million). As at that date, the company had a net current liability of £3.83 million (2023: £3.56 million). The company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the successful implementation of the strategic initiatives described on Note 2, which are aimed at improving its financial position and achieving sustained profitability. These conditions, along with other matters presented in the Note indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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
