“Having performed this assessment, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements. Additionally the Directors have received written confirmation from the Company's parent undertaking, that it will continue to provide financial support for the entire going concern period. In assessing the ability of the Directors to rely on this support they have considered the level of short-term deposits available and net cash at the group level to support liquidity.”
