“The Directors have considered the forward financial position of the Company, including detailed financial models to December 2026 and a severe but plausible downside scenario. This included assessing the risk of disruption to supply chains, cautiously reflecting potential improvements in business and consideration of mitigations to preserve cash, if necessary, within the business. On the basis of these forecasts, the Directors are confident that we currently have sufficient financial resources available to continue operating for the foreseeable future.”
