- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the above evaluation, the Company Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, placing reliance on the letter of support, as from the perspective of the Company, its operations, risks and uncertainties are integrated with those of the Group and so having reviewed the Group's plans and available financial facilities, including the modelling of a severe but plausible downside scenario and available mitigating actions, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
