Material uncertainty over going concern
Prior to 2019, the financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis. In 2019, the directors took the decision to cease trading. Accordingly, the directors have not prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. There were no amendments to the amounts disclosed in the balance sheet as a result of preparing the financial statements on a non-going concern basis.

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
