Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company ceased trading in December 2010 and does not intend to trade in the future. In addition, management's intention is to liquidate the entity when the contingent liability matter (note 9) has reached conclusion. Resulting from this the Company's financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern which includes, where appropriate, writing down the entity's assets to net realisable value.

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
