Material uncertainty over going concern
Accordingly, the Going Concern assessment of the Company is therefore subject to uncertainties relating to the potential change in ownership and this gives rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a Going Concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company were unable to continue as a 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
