Material uncertainty over going concern
Reflecting the planned transfer of customers, associated ceasing of trading and therefore planned dormant status of the company going forward the directors have prepared the financial statements on a basis other than going concern reflecting the accounting requirements for a company in a hive up situation. Assets and liabilities are expected to be transferred to the fellow subsidiary at their carrying or higher amounts which will leave a solvent net asset position going forward. Accordingly, no material adjustments arose as a result of ceasing to apply the going concern basis.
