Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The Directors have concluded that implementing a holistic refinancing by the middle of November 2025 or by May 2026 at the latest is outside the control of the Group. This is therefore a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the Group and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
