Significant events
- “Following the year end, the Company successfully secured a £25 million growth capital facility, providing additional flexibility as we continue our path toward profitability. Full details of this post balance sheet event, including the key terms and conditions of the term loan facility, are provided in the Notes to the Financial Statements (Note 21 - Events after the reporting date). On 23 December 2025, the Group successfully executed a new £25.0 million Term Loan Facility ("the Facility"). A principal amount of £15.0 million was drawn at close. The remaining £10.0 million is available for drawdown from 30 June 2026 until 31 December 2026. The loan is interest only for 24 months and then capital repayments are due over the next 30 months until a final repayment date of 23 June 2030. In connection with the Facility, the Group issued 288,115 warrants to the lender.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
