Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have commenced the winding down of the company as at 31 March 2025. The credit balances due to commonly controlled entities will not be paid in full. Once the unwinding of assets and liabilities is substantially complete it has been agreed that any balances which remain outstanding with commonly controlled entities will be written off. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.

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
