Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors have considered the impact of a potential sale of the business and the associated uncertainties on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Given the company is in current negotiations and the potential outcomes thereon, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern should the business be sold within the next 12 months from signing these financial statements. The Directors have not been made aware of the intentions or actions that might effect the continuation of operations under the future management should the business be sold.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
