“The directors acknowledge the existence of a net current liability position in the balance sheet and have assessed the ability of the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Taking into account the continued positive trading performance, and the continuing support and commitment of the company's investors, the directors are satisfied with the future outlook of the company and therefore continue to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”
