- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that extend through to July 2027 that indicate that the company will generate sufficient cash income to meet its liabilities during this period, which extends past 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. These forecasts along with the business plan and ongoing support from University of Wales Trinity Saint David have led the directors to conclude that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The company has undergone a transition in the period post 2020 from being a research led organisation with a small commercial interest to a company placing equal importance on the commercial and research activities that it undertakes which has led to significant revenue growth.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
