Material uncertainty over going concern
The above indicates that due to the anticipated change of ownership of the company, the decisions on the future operations of the company which could be taken by the new owners and new directors have not yet been finalised at the approval date of the financial statements and as a result this indicates that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the group and company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

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
