The Company stated on 21 January 2026 that the Share Subscription Agreement with Quorium Global Photonics SPC ( " QGP " ) " materially strengthens the Company's balance sheet " , and that the Company had exchanged 49.9 % of its share capital for " $ 200m of fully verified asset backed notes , as well as $ 79.5m ( $ 15.9m for 5yrs ) " , and that the Company was " now a cash - flow positive company with a robust balance sheet " .

The Company now confirms that in line with IFRS accounting standards , the QMTNS received from QGP have been recognised at £ 300k in the Company's financial statements from the point of acquisition to disposal . The reference to " $ 79.5m of cash " was to the expected coupon on the QMTNs over a five year period .
