Material uncertainty over going concern
On 18 March 2025, the loans receivable from SSBU had been fully collected, and subsequently the Notes had been fully settled on 20 March 2025. The Directors have planned to liquidate the Company in due course, once the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 have been finalised, as such the Directors have decided to prepare the financial statements 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
