Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors intend to wind up the Company within 12 months of the approval of these financial statements. As a result, they do not consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than going concern, under which assets are stated at estimated realisable amounts and liabilities at amounts expected to be settled.

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
