The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for 2025 (2024: £nil); no dividends paid or approved during the year

page 47
Going concern and the audit

Auditor (PKF Littlejohn LLP) issued an unmodified opinion but drew attention to a material uncertainty related to going concern (note 3): the Group has incurred net operating losses since inception except FY25 and expects further losses; base-case cash flow forecasts show the Group and parent will need to raise additional funding in or before Q2 2027, with a worst-case scenario requiring funding by April 2027. Key audit matters were (1) accounting for the gain on sale of royalty rights and associated deferred consideration and (2) valuation of parent-company intercompany loans receivable
