“The Company has a received confirmation from the directors of the ultimate parent company EMG SAS that they have no intention of seeking, recalling or demanding repayment of any amounts owed for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Company have obtained a letter of support from the parent company stating it would have the financial support of its parent company, if required, for the foreseeable future. The directors believe that trading and profitability of the combined group and parent entity, based on forecasts, will ensure that both the combined group and parent entity, has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
