“The directors have considered forecasts, and believe the Company to be a going concern, with the availability of financial support from 74Software SA if required, which has been confirmed in writing. As a result, the directors have concluded that they have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to meet their financial obligations as they fall due for at least one year from signing the accounts and for this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements of the Company.”
