First-pass take

AFC Energy is a hydrogen fuel cell and ammonia cracking company at early commercialization. First significant revenue (£4m FY24) achieved but at gross loss (£1.7m); annual cash burn is £12m with ~12–15 months runway stated. Zero AI exposure despite data-centre mention. Extreme customer concentration: 100% of FY24 revenue from single JV partner (Speedy Hire). Going concern carries material uncertainty.
