Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors decided that it would be beneficial for all stakeholders of the Company including its parent company, staff, customers and suppliers if the trade and assets of the Company were to be transferred up into fellow subsidiary, Model Business Limited. This transfer occurred after the financial year on 1 January 2025. The Directors do not plan to acquire a replacement trade for the Company and it will become dormant on this date. Therefore, the Company's accounts have not been prepared on a going concern basis. There have been no adjustments made to the financial statements as a result of the application of the non-going concern basis of accounting.
