Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1 to the financial statements which explains that the directors have ceased all trading within the entity, with a capital reduction to be performed in the next financial year and the company to become dormant from 31 July 2026, and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
