Material uncertainty over going concern
As described in the strategic report, following the transfer of the trading activity, the company has ceased to trade. Therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. The directors do not expect to liquidate the company and the entity will become non-trading. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements as a result of ceasing to adopt the going concern assumption.

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
