“In assessing the going concern assumption, the directors have considered the concentration of trading with Davidsons Developments Limited and the Group's assessment of that company's ability to continue trading, including consideration of its forecasts and the availability of committed banking facilities at Group level. Based on these considerations, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the Company's financial statements on a going concern basis.”
