Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the group incurred a net loss of £18,731,740 during the year ended 31 December 2024 and continues to be in a loss-making position. The group and the company will need to raise additional funding to continue as a going concern, and there are no guarantees that attempts to raise additional financing on a timely basis will be successful. As stated in Note 2, these events, or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.”

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
