Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a non-going concern basis. The company will be transferring all continuing agreements as well its trade, assets and liabilities to a related party which effectively will cease all trade and ongoing operations of the company. As required by UK accounting standards, the directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the company is no longer a going concern. No adjustments arose as a result of ceasing to apply the going concern basis. All assets and liabilities will be transferred to a related party at their carrying amounts.

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
