“The Directors have prepared detailed model forecasts incorporating the relevant terms of the PFI contract, subcontracts and credit agreements, and have adopted prudent assumptions in relation to economic and operational factors. In preparing these forecasts, the Directors have considered external economic factors including supply chain pressures arising from the Russian-Ukraine war and other global price increases. The detailed model forecasts predict that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.”
