Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company is in the process of transferring assets to another Group company. This is expected to complete within 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements whereupon the Company will effectively cease to trade. Accordingly the directors have prepared the financial statements on a basis other than going concern.

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
