Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group and Company are not currently generating revenues and have incurred operating losses, which are expected to continue over the 12-month period following approval of the financial statements. The Company remains reliant on securing additional external financing to meet its ongoing working capital and project funding requirements. As the timing and availability of such future funding are not wholly within the Group's control, this gives rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
