Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors have acknowledged their responsibilities in relation to the financial statements for the year to 31 March 2025. After making the assessment on going concern, the Directors have concluded that the Company is no longer able to continue its operations as a going concern due to deregistration of the German Branch which administered the defined benefit pension scheme for former employees of the Branch. The Company will shortly be entered into voluntary liquidation. Consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.

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
