“Consequently, after making appropriate enquiries including the support of other group companies, and taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, the directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
