Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors confirm that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, however as a result of the firm offer received, there does exist a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as the assumptions and forecasts underpinning the assessment may not be achieved.

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
