Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which describes the basis of preparation of the financial statements. As described in that note, the company is no longer trading and therefore the directors do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly the directors have prepared the financial statements on a basis other than the going concern basis of preparation.

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

Significant events
- “In recent years the company has not had active contracts, since previous engagements ended in 2019 and holds no cash as at 31 December 2024. As such, the directors concluded in 2022 that the company was no longer actively undertaking its principal activity.”
- “In March 2021 the Company entered into a refinancing arrangement with Unisys Limited. Under this arrangement amounts repayable on demand by the Company were converted, at book value on date of transfer, to fixed term loan payable with a repayment date of March 2041.”
