Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 3 in the financial statement, which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of £1,597,081 during the year ended 30 April 2025 and, as of that date, the directors intend to liquidate the Company and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
