“The Company participates in group centralised treasury arrangements and therefore, shares banking arrangements with its ultimate parent, Alliance Witan PLC and fellow subsidiaries. The Director has no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, or its ability to continue with the current banking arrangements. While the Company is not currently trading, it remains solvent and has the potential to re-commence trading in the future.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
