- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities for at least 12 months from the approval date of financial statements, based on group cash flow forecasts and the parent company's intention not to seek repayment of advances and to provide additional funding as needed, even under a severe but plausible downside scenario.”
Significant events
- “On 15 January 2025, the parent company, Cloud Imperium UK Limited authorised and issued 247,520 shares to an existing shareholder. On 03 March 2025, the group has drawn down £10 million under a loan facility and the principal is repayable in full on 31 December 2027.”

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
