Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
Based on the above, the Directors intend to cease trade of the Company at the conclusion of the Managed Realisation process. Therefore, the Directors do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. On this basis, the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a basis other than going concern.
