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

Material uncertainty over going concern
Since May 2024, the company is not making any sales. The directors do not intend to liquidate the company. It is not considered appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Hence the accounts are prepared on the basis other than going concern.

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
