Affirmed

“The Company's current financial position, the positive cash flow forecasts and the confirmation from the intermediate parent undertaking to defer the repayment of intercompany loans and loan notes, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
