Material uncertainty over going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on other than going concern basis. Under this basis, the assets have been measured at carrying value less impairment and liabilities at settlement / transfer values. The directors continue to hold the intention to liquidate the Company and expect this will take place shortly after the final settlement of the remaining provision.

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
