- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At 31 December 2024, the company had net assets of £3,593,775 (2023: net liabilities of £5,965,987). The directors have considered the future cash requirements of the company and believe that the company can operate as a going concern with support of the ultimate controlling party, NSG (Bermuda) LP, from whom a letter has been obtained confirming their intention to continue to support the company for the 12-month period from the date of signing these accounts. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 24 May 2024, the company issued £8,500,000 of additional share capital to its sole shareholder, NTG Europe (UK) Limited in return for a reduction in the loan payable to NTG Europe (UK) Limited.”
- “On 24 May 2024, the Company reduced the issued share capital of the company from £8,510,000 to £10,000 by cancelling and extinguishing 8,500,000 of the issued ordinary shares of £1.00 each in the company.”

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
