Material uncertainty over going concern
Following the Company retiring as authorised corporate director and closure of the Adviser Centre business, the process to wind up the Company is underway. As the Directors intend to liquidate the Company following the settlement of the remaining net assets, they have prepared the financial statements on a basis other than going concern. The effect of this is explained in the accounting policies, note 1.

4 officer resignations in last 12 months
