Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to the accounting policies on page 17 which describe that the financial statements have been prepared on a non-going concern basis. As described in note 1, following the administration of the Company's principal trading subsidiary in the previous year, the directors have concluded that it is no longer appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. There have been no adjustments made to the financial statements as a result of the application of the non-going concern basis of accounting.

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
