Material uncertainty over going concern
As the Company ceased trading in January 2024, and the directors do not intend to acquire a replacement trade, the directors do not believe that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. There are no other assets or liabilities recognisable as a consequence of not preparing these financial statements on a going concern basis. Therefore, no adjustments are necessary to the amounts included in these financial statements.

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
