The directors intend to cease trade of the Company. Therefore, the directors do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. On this basis, the directors have prepared the financial statements on a basis other than going concern.

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
