Directors' Report
The directors present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Principal activities
The company's principal activity was the research and development of clinical diagnostic tests.
Results and dividends
The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £270,666 (15 month period to 31 March 2024: £243,767).
The directors did not recommend the payment of a dividend for the year (2024: £nil).
Future developments
The research and development activities of the company ceased in September 2024, and remaining staff were made redundant in December 2024. The directors continue to close the operational faciltiies which is expected to complete during the year ended 31 March 2026.
Directors
The following persons served as directors during the year:
N Vazirani (appointed on 1 July 2024)
S H Vazirani
Dr L Tisi (resigned 2 January 2025)
A Dunbar resigned as secretary on 11 September 2024.
Directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice ( United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law, including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' ). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Directors' responsibilities (continued)
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Basis other than going concern
The company is in the process of winding up its activities. As such, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. During the preparation of the financial statements, the directors have reviewed all assets to ensure they are measured at their recoverable amount and have not identified any additional liabilities other than those disclosed.

The directors have also confirmed that, other than for the write down of intercompany balances, the preparation of the financial statements on a basis other than going concern has not required any adjustments to the financial statements that would otherwise have been required if the going concern basis was applicable.
Qualifying third party indemnity provisions
The company has granted indemnities to each of its directors in respect of all losses arising out of or in connection with the execution of their powers, duties and responsibilities as directors to the extent permitted by the Companies Act 2006 and the company's articles of Association. Such qualifying third party indemnity provision remain in force at the date of approving the Directors' Report. In addition, directors and officers of the company are covered by directors' and officers' liability insurance.
Disclosure of information to auditors
Each person who was a director at the time this report was approved confirms that:
so far as he is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware; and
he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.
Auditor
The auditor, Grant Thornton UK LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
Small companies note
In preparing this report, the directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf by:

Independent auditor's report
to the members of Lumora Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Lumora Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion:
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its loss for the year then ended;
the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of matter - basis of preparation of the financial statements
We draw attention to Note 2.1 to the financial statements, which describes the basis of preparation of the financial statements. As described in that note, the company is in the process of winding up its actvities. As such, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. During the preparation of the financial statements, the directors have reviewed all assets to ensure they are measured at their recoverable amount and have not identified any additional liabilities other than those disclosed. The directors have also confirmed that, other than for the write down of intercompany balances, the preparation of the financial statements on a basis other than going concern has not required any adjustments to the financial statements that would otherwise have been required if the going concern basis was applicable. Our opinion is not modified in this respect of this matter.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Directors' Report and Financial Statement other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Directors' Report and financial statements. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report under the Companies Act 2006
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Directors' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities set out on page 2, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting frameworks (FRS 102 and Companies Act 2006) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the jurisdictions in which the company operates. In addition, we concluded that there are certain specific laws and regulations that may have an effect on the determination of amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and those laws and regulations relating to health and safety, employee matters, environmental and bribery and corruption matters;
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
We communicated relevant laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit;
We enquired of management and those charged with governance, concerning the company’s policies and procedures relating to: the identification, evaluation and compliance with laws and regulations; and the detection and response to the risks of fraud;
We enquired of management and those charged with governance as to whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or whether they had any knowledge of actual,suspected or alleged fraud;
We corroborated the results of our enquiries to relevant supporting documentation;
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur and the risk of management override of controls. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
• evaluation of the programmes and controls established to address the risks related to irregularities and fraud;
• testing journal entries, in particular journal entries relating to management estimates and entries determined to be large or relating to unusual transactions;
• challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
• identifying and testing related party transactions.
These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error and detecting irregularities that result from fraud is inherently more difficult than detecting those that result from error, as fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. Also, the further removed non compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it;
The engagement partner’s assessment of the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team included consideration of the engagement team's:
• understanding of, and practical experience with audit engagements of a similar nature and
complexity through appropriate training and participation;
• knowledge of the industry in which the client operates;
• understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements specific to the company including:
- the provisions of the applicable legislation;
- the regulators' rules and related guidance, including guidance issued by relevant authorities
that interprets those rules;
- the applicable statutory provisions.
In assessing the potential risks of material misstatement, we obtained an understanding of:
• the group and parent company's operations, including the nature of its revenue sources and of its objectives and strategies to understand the classes of transactions, account balances, expected financial statement disclosures and business risks that may result in risks of material misstatement;
• the applicable statutory provisions;
• the company's control environment, including the policies and procedures implemented to comply with the requirements of its regulators, the adequacy of procedures for authorisation of transactions and internal review procedures over the company's compliance with regulatory requirements.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 March 2025
1 General Information
Lumora Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales. Registered number 04569106. Its registered head office is located at 9 Park Place, Newdigate Road, Harefield, Middlesex, UB9 6EJ.
2 Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The company’s presentational and functional currency is Sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest pound (£) except when otherwise stated.
The company is in the process of winding up its activities. As such, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. During the preparation of the financial statements, the directors have reviewed all assets to ensure they are measured at their recoverable amount and have not identified any additional liabilities other than those disclosed.

The directors have also confirmed that, other than for the write down of intercompany balances, the preparation of the financial statements on a basis other than going concern has not required any adjustments to the financial statements that would otherwise have been required if the going concern basis was applicable.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
2.2 Foreign Currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
2.3 Turnover
Turnover represents the fair value of the amount received or receivable for goods and services provided, excluding value added tax. Turnover primarily reflects amounts earned under Licence and development agreements and typically include up-front payments (for technology access or exclusivity), development payments, milestone payments and royalties on future sales. Recognised turnover is dependent on specific terms of each agreement but outline:
• non-refundable up-front payments may be recognised on the earlier invoice or receipt.
• refundable up-front payments are deferred and recognised once amount become non
refundable.
• development payments are recognised in line with the period of development, based on a cost plus model agreed with group companies.
• milestone payments are recognised when the milestone is accomplished.
• royalties are recognised when earned on the earlier notification, invoice or receipt.
2 Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Leasing Commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The company has one operating lease which is classified as an operating lease as it does not substantially carry the risks and rewards of ownership.
2.5 Interest Income
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
2.6 Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
2.7 Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the
company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
2.8 Current and deferred taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.
Research and development expenditure credits (RDEC) are recognised in the year to which the claim relates. The RDEC claim is recorded as other operating income.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the Balance Sheet date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
2.9 Research & Development Costs
Expenditure on research is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Development costs for the period have been expensed given that the company will be ceasing operations and there are no commercialisation plans to generate revenue to support capitalisation of these costs.
2 Accounting policies (continued)
2.10 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique technology products controlled by the company are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
• It is technically feasible to complete the asset so that it will be available for use
• Management intends to complete the asset and use or sell it.
• There is an ability to use or sell the asset.
• It can be demonstrated how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits.
• Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset are available.
• The expenditure attributable to the asset during its development can be reliably measured.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
The cost included in the capitalisation of intangible assets includes consumables, subcontractors, rent, rates and staff salaries. Management maintains records of laboratory hours spent on each project. Costs are apportioned to each project based on project time as management has determined in their judgement for this to be the most accurate reflection of directly attributable costs for each project.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
During the prior year, it was decided that commercialisation of the previously capitalised product would not occur due to changes in regulatory requirements and associated costs to bring the product to market.
2.11 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Plant and machinery 33%
Fixtures and Fittings 33%
Office Equipment 33%
2 Accounting policies (continued)
2.11 Tangible fixed assets (continued)
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
2.12 Impairment of fixed assets and goodwill
Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are assessed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit to which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's (or CGU's) fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). Non-financial assets that have been previously impaired are reviewed at each balance sheet date to assess whether there is any indication that the impairment losses recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased.
2.13 Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
2.14 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
2.15 Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.16 Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance Sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet.
2 Accounting policies (continued)
2.17 Financial Instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's Balance Sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due within the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
2 Accounting policies (continued)
2.17 Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial liabilities (continued)
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other financial instruments
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
3 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the financial statements and related disclosure. Use of available information and the application of judgements is inherent in the formation of estimate.
The significant estimates and assumptions are as follows:
1) Impairment of intangible assets
Annually, the company considers whether intangible assets are impaired. Where an indication of impairment is identified the estimation of recoverable value is required. This requires estimation of the future cash flows from the asset and also the selection of an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate the net present value of those cash flows.
2) Capitalisation of development costs
The capitalisation of development costs, as set out in note 2.10, includes a significant level of judgement by management both over whether projects meet the criteria for capitalisation and the apportionment of costs included within the intangible value. Further detail regarding that apportionment is included in the aforementioned note.
3 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
3) Recoverability of amounts owed by group undertakings
The estimates and assumptions used to assess the recoverability are:
- The financial position and performance of the group undertaking
- Future trade of the group undertaking
- Any financial guarantees from other parties
The carrying amount of balances owed by group undertakings is included in note 12.
The company have carried out the above assessments and as a result have decided to write off the remaining balances as per instruction from the group as operation will not continue and the company is in the process of winding up.

Adjustments to tax charge in respect of previous periods 1,305 (84,958)
Current tax charge for period 1,305 (121,248)
Factors that may affect future tax charges
The Finance Act 2021 was substantively enacted in May 2021 and increased the corporation tax rate from 19% to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023 on profits over £250,000. The rate for small profits under £50,000 is 19%. When the company's profits fall between £50,000 and £250,000, the lower and upper limits, it will be able to claim an amount of marginal relief providing a gradual increase in the corporation tax rate.

As the company has ceased its trading activites, no deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of unutilised trading losses as no further trading profits are expected in the future for the asset to be recovered.
