Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis. Instead, they have been prepared on a break-up basis, reflecting the intention to realise assets and discharge liabilities other than in the normal course of business. Adjustments have been made to measure assets at their net realisable value, considering expected disposal proceeds.

Significant events
- “Following a period of severe economic and financial difficulty, and a subsequent collective consultation with the workforce, the directors have taken the decision to enter members' voluntary liquidation. This decision was taken in January 2026 following a collective consultation with the workforce that concluded in December 2025. The company will formally enter liquidation once all assets and liabilities have been settled.”
