Facts from the Companies House register and the latest accounts — not a rating

Material uncertainty over going concern

The Company has ceased to act as an investment holding company following the sale of its investment in February 2024. The Company will continue to settle its existing debtor and creditor balances, and it is expected to be liquidated in due course. Therefore, the financial statements have been presented on a basis other than that of a going concern.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
