In the accounts to 2024-12-31, audited by KZ Auditors, the auditor reported a material uncertainty about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern: “Material Uncertainity relating to going concern We draw attention to the note going concern on page 10 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company incurred a net loss of £172,712 during the year ended 31 December 2024 and, as of that date, the company's total liabilities exceeded its total assets by £2,344,267. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in the going concern note on page 10 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”. This is a disclosure auditing standards require when such an uncertainty exists. It is a statement about the accounts, not a prediction that the company will fail, and many companies trade on normally after one. Filed at Companies House; reproduced as filed.
