Material uncertainty over going concern
On 31 March 2021 the Company ceased trading and therefore it was no longer appropriate to prepare the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2020 and subsequent years under the going concern basis and they were instead prepared under basis other than going concern. Current assets were stated at recoverable amounts. Creditors falling due after more than one year were reclassified as current.
