Material uncertainty over going concern
As the Company ceased to trade as at 30 November 2023 following the transfer of all its business to Zurich Insurance Company ("ZIC"), the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. The directors are satisfied that the Company has access to adequate resources within the Group to continue to meet its financial 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
