Material uncertainty over going concern
In 2024, the Company ceased maintaining its website and all remaining employees were made redundant. As a result, the Directors no longer consider it appropriate to prepare financial statements for the period ended 27 December 2024 and subsequent periods under the going concern basis and instead the financial statements have been prepared on a 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
