Material uncertainty over going concern
However, given that the Company is included in the sale transaction outlined in note 14 below, there is an uncertainty around the intentions of future management, including the amount of support, if any, the Company would receive from its new parent, Columbus McKinnon Corporation, or if the Company will continue to fulfil its current role in a similar legal structure. These conditions constitute a material uncertainty related to going concern such that the Company 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
