- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis, the Directors have taken account of all relevant information covering a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors consider that the company will continue to trade and has access to sufficient appropriate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due, for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and have thus prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Up until 22 November 2023, the immediate parent company of Trace Isys Limited was Trace Group Limited, a company incorporated in Great Britain. The ultimate parent company was Tulip Holdings Limited, a company also incorporated in Great Britain. From 22 November 2023, following the repayment of the £1,001,663 loan from Richard Wolfe, there is no single controlling party of the company. Similarly, the Company no longer forms part of the Trace Group Limited group.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
