Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
In 2025, the directors of the parent company decided to terminate the operations of this entity. As the Company is expected to cease activities within the foreseeable future, the directors do not consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate. These financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than going concern.
