Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
The directors believe that adopting a basis other than the going concern basis is appropriate given that all significant trading in the entity ceased at the end of 2023. Given the ongoing process, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern.
