Material uncertainty over going concern
Due to the assignment completed, the company no longer meets the definition of a going concern and the financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern. It is the intention of the directors to liquidate the company once all outstanding company matters have been concluded.

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
