- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared group cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Consequently, the directors are confident that the group and parent company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the group and parent company financial statements and therefore have prepared the group and parent company financial statements on a going concern basis.”
