Material uncertainty over going concern
In December 2025, the directors decided to transfer the trade anc assets of the Company to another group entity Kratos Analytical Ltd ("KAL"), and after the transfer, the Company will be liquidated. On 1 April 2026, the directors completed the transfer of the trade and assets of the Company to Kratos Analytical Ltd ("KAL"). Hence, the Company will be liquidated. This transfer of operations and liquidation resulted in a fundamental change in the Company's activities. Accordingly, the directors have concluded that the going concern basis is no longer appropriate.

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
