Material uncertainty over going concern
On 29 June 2009, the Directors took the decision to cease trading following a Group restructuring exercise, and the intention is to liquidate the Company. The timeframe for the liquidation is yet to be determined. As they do not intend to acquire a replacement trade, the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a basis other than going concern. The Directors have reconsidered all asset and liability carrying values to be consistent with valuations based on a discontinuation of business, and not on a continuing use basis. No adjustments were required as a result of the accounts being prepared on a basis other than going concern. As a consequence, all assets and liabilities of the Company are classified as current in these financial statements.

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
