Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 4.1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of £5,166,668 during the year ended 31 December 2024 and, as of that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its total assets by £20,276,246. As stated in note 4.1, these events or conditions, along with other matters such as extension of payment terms on the existing loan as set forth in note 4.1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists 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
