Facts from the Companies House register and the latest accounts — not a rating
-
Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
The directors do not consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate as they intend to wind up the Company within 12 months of approval of the financial statements as the Company ceased trading in the prior year. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than going concern.
