Facts from the Companies House register and the latest accounts — not a rating

Material uncertainty over going concern
The principal activity of the company had been that of an intermediary holding company. The company sold its only subsidiary company during the year. Subsequently, the company ceased trading. Therefore, the Directors do not consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. No adjustments were required to the financial statements as a result of preparing them on a basis other than going concern.

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
