Facts from the Companies House register and the latest accounts — not a rating

Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company does not trade and the expectation is that a process to liquidate the company will commence within 12 months from the date of signing. As such these financial statements have not been prepared on the going concern basis, but on a basis that is consistent with FRS 102 but amended to reflect the fact that the going concern assumption is not 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
