Watchouts
Facts from the Companies House register and the latest accounts — not a rating
-
Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
Accordingly, the Directors have not prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. In applying this basis, no adjustment has been made to the measurement of assets and liabilities, as these are predominantly short term, monetary in nature and readily realisable. The Company will continue to focus on managing and resolving its existing legal, regulatory and operational matters.
