“On the basis of current financial projections, which have been drawn out to the end of 2027, including a sensitised cash flow analysis (sensitised by considering reduced revenues in key growth markets being the main area of forecast risk, together with available funds and facilities), the Directors are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, and accordingly, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Group and Company financial statements.”
