Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors continue to present the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025 on a basis other than going concern as the directors intend to liquidate the company following its cessation of trade on 29 February 2024. The remaining current assets and liabilities will be transferred to other group entities before the company becomes dormant and is liquidated at a future date.

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
