Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. This is due to the Company ceasing trading in May 2025 and commencing an orderly wind-down of assets, following a strategic review and failure to agree on a sale. The financial statements reflect impairments to write down asset values to net recoverable amounts.

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
