Material uncertainty over going concern
As a result of the decision to wind down the operations of the company, the directors have not prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis. However, as the employment related assets and liabilities were transferred to KPMG LLP at book value during the previous year and KPMG LLP has agreed to provide financial support to ensure all financial liabilities can be met as they fall due, these financial statements do not include any adjustments resulting from the application of the non-going concern basis.

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
