“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company reported a pre-tax profit, is in a net assets position, has strong support from the group and the future trading outlook is positive. Thus the business remains a going concern and as such the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
