Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have decided that the company will cease trading within 12 months of filing these financial statements as the production is now complete and there will be no further trading activity for this company. As a result of this, the directors have decided not to adopt the going concern principle within these financial statements. The directors do not believe that there is any impact of not adopting the going concern principle on the financial statements.

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
