Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as the company has ceased trading in the prior year and is expected to remain dormant for the foreseeable future. As a result, the use of the going concern assumption is no longer appropriate.

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
