Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors acknowledge there can be no certainty that continued financial support from Hybrid Software Group PLC (on which forecasts are dependent) will continue, though they have no reason to believe it will not. Group funding amounted to £3,000,000 at 31 Dec 2025, crucial for the going concern assessment period.
