Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company has incurred a net loss after tax during the year ended 31 December 2024 (as set out in the statement of comprehensive income on page 10) and, as of that date, has net liabilities (as set out in the balance sheet on page 11). As stated in note 2.2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a 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
