Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1.4 of the financial statements, which outlines the current challenges facing the company. It also indicates that the company's liabilities significantly exceed its assets and the company is dependent on the ongoing support of its director, who has indicated his continuing support. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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
