Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which explains that the financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is no longer considered to be a going concern. The directors have made the decision that the Company will cease to trade within the next twelve months, though they have not yet determined whether the Company will be left dormant to potentially utilise in the future, or whether it will be liquidated. As a result, the financial statements are not prepared on a going concern basis. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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
