Going concern
As a consequence of the Company ceasing to trade, the financial statements are prepared on a basis other than going
concern. This has no impact on the value of assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at 31 December 2025. The directors
have also assessed the impact of preparing the financial statements on a basis other than going concern, and have noted
that existing accounting policies for assets, liabilities, income and expenses as described in note 2, remain appropriate.
Other principal accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and deposits with banks. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current
liabilities.
Financial instruments
Recognition and de-recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the financial instrument. Financial assets are de-recognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial
asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is de-
recognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, and which are measured at the
transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for applicable
transaction costs. Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the
following categories: amortised cost; fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); or fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI). The classification is determined by both the Company's business model for managing the financial asset
and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
