Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.4 in the financial statements, which explains that there are plans to liquidate the Company and therefore the directors do not consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, 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

Significant events
- “On 31 August 2021, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) completed the acquisition of Zerto Ltd (the parent company), with a net cash purchase price at closing of USD 374 million. On 1 February 2022 all employees of the Company were transferred to Hewlett-Packard Limited but the entity will continue to trade under agreements with group companies. Following the Company's acquisition by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), it was decided that its operations would be incorporated into HPE and that the company will be liquidated. As part of this process, HPE is planning to execute an asset sale of the Company's business to another HPE group entity. The integration and asset sale are currently planned to occur in August 2025. Following the asset sale and completion of the integration, the Company is expected to be liquidated at a later stage.”
