“The Directors believe existing cash reserves, expected cash flows from operating activities as well as parental support if required, are sufficient to meet the Company's obligations as they fall due for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Directors have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the Company financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.”
