Material uncertainty over going concern
Auditor's report (page 8) draws attention to note 2 indicating a material uncertainty regarding going concern. Company made a profit of £5.5m in 2024 with £11.8m net current assets and £13.1m net assets. Forecasts to 30 April 2026 rely on successful development, launch & commercialisation of products, which casts significant doubt.
