Material uncertainty over going concern
As MCM has ceased trading, it is not appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. This includes writing the Company's assets down to net realisable value. No provision has been made for the future costs of terminating the business unless such costs were committed as at 31 March 2025. The Company is subject to ongoing litigation and regulatory investigation, as detailed in Note 13. The outcome of these matters may affect the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due.

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
