Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors intend to wind up the Company in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis. The carrying value of assets represents their realisable amounts and liabilities which will arise have been accrued for. Any costs associated with the wind up of the Company will be borne by the Parent Company.

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
