Material uncertainty over going concern
Following the cessation of trade in the prior year, the Directors consider that the going-concern basis of accounting is no longer appropriate. These financial statements have therefore been prepared 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
