Due to the cessation of trade, these financial statements are prepared on a basis other than Going Concern. The directors are currently winding down the activity of the Company on an orderly basis.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
