“Based on these forecasts, the directors are satisfied that the company will be able to manage its cash flows, commitments and working capital requirements such that it can settle its liabilities and meet its obligations as they fall due. In addition, the company has received confirmation from Shop247.com Inc that it will provide financial support, if required, to enable the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due where sufficient funds are not otherwise available. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
