  Material uncertainty over going concern

  By 31 December 2024, the Company had transferred its trade and assets to CityFibre Limited, its parent entity, ceased trading and is expected to remain dormant for the foreseeable future. Given the cessation of trade, the directors have concluded that the financial statements should be prepared on a basis other than going concern. No accounting adjustments have been required as a result of the Company ceasing to apply the going concern basis.

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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.
