Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors are required to consider the company's ability to continue as a going concern. In order to simplify the legal structure of the group, in the current year the assets and liabilities have been settled down to £1 of intercompany receivable and no further activity is expected. In the medium-term, the directors intend to dissolve the company, when circumstances allow. As a result, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. This does not have any impact on recorded asset and liability values at 31 December 2024.

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
