“After making enquiries, which include considering the liquidity of the Company's assets, it's adequacy of capital resources in light of continued losses and considering the strategic review undertaken by the company's sister entity and largest customer and confirmation of the availability of support from its parent undertaking Aegon Asset Management Holdings BV. – including additional capital invested in the firm by its parent (see note 16 for further details), the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (being 12 months from the date of this report). Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
