Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have not prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, given that the property previously leased by the company is vacant, the company no longer trades, and the directors do not intend to acquire a replacement trade. There were no adjustments necessary to the amounts included in these financial statements to reflect this change in 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
