Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. The company will cease trading after the payment of a dividend and settlement of the amounts owed by related parties. The directors expect the company to be dormant in the future. No adjustments arose as a result of ceasing to apply the 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
