Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements are not prepared on the going concern basis as the Company is non-trading and the director believes a break-up basis of accounting is most appropriate. The Company is dependent on continued financial support from group companies.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
