The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a basis other than that of a going concern. At the end of May 2022 all customers were off contract and the Company has therefore ceased to trade and the Directors intend to liquidate the Company within 18 months.

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
