Material uncertainty over going concern
Following the sale of the South Korean division in April 2025 and the transfer of the LLP business on 1 October 2025, neither the LLP nor the Company has ongoing trading operations beyond 2025. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a non-going concern basis.

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
