Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“Until additional funding is secured, these circumstances cast significant doubt upon the ability of the Group to continue to support the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due, which in turn indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about 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
