Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have made a thorough assessment of the Company's ability to continue operating as a going concern and concluded that a basis other than going concern is appropriate given the disposal of the trade and assets of the Company and the ultimate intention to liquidate or strike off the Company. During 2024 the Company recorded a loss, and at the balance sheet date was in a net assets position. With the net assets position of the balance sheet, management believes that the Company is in a position to liquidate the business and discharge all expected liabilities within the next 12 months. Management has a clear expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to meet our commitments as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. In addition, a letter of support has been received from Nikkei Inc which commits to support the Company for at least one year beyond the date these financial statements are signed.

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
