  Material uncertainty over going concern

  The financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern that is consistent with Financial Reporting Standard 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' and the Companies Act 2006, but amended to reflect the fact that the 'going concern' assumption is not appropriate, as the company ceased trading due to the transfer of business and the directors have concluded that the company will not continue trading.

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
