Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
The directors have not prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis as they do not believe it is appropriate to do so. This is detailed further in the statement of accounting policies. On 14 December 2018, the company sold its compounded pharmaceutical products business and ceased trading. As the company did not acquire a replacement trade, the directors prepared the 2018, and all subsequent, financial statements on a basis other than going concern. No adjustments were necessary to the amounts at which the assets and liabilities are included in these financial statements.
