“The Company's business activities, financial position and cash flows, together with the factors likely to affect its future performance and position, are set out in the strategic report on pages 1-18. Details of its objectives and policies on financial risk management are set out above. As a result of the above assessments the directors consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, which comprises the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, that is 31 August 2026. There are no material uncertainties that would prevent the directors from being unable to make this statement. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements.”
