“After reviewing the Company's projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial information. Post year end, the Company has continued to be profitable and the cash position has remained consistent. The strong Balance Sheet held at the year end would enable the Company to access borrowing should they require it and they have an agreed overdraft in place to support their short-term financing needs”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
