Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“However, the Directors recognise that the Group and Parent Company remain reliant on the future sales pipeline. The absence of secured additional sales contracts introduces uncertainty into the forecasted cash flows. Therefore, without the successful conversion of pipeline opportunities into contracted revenue, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and Parent 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
