Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
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 decision to cease trade. The company ceased to use the going concern basis in the year ended 31 December 2021 and the necessary adjustments were made in that financial year. No additional adjustments were made during the current year.
