“As further discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the directors have determined that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The Company is dependent for its working capital on funds generated and provided to it by Ridge Trail UK Topco Limited Group. Ridge Trail UK Topco Limited, the Company's ultimate parent undertaking, and other Group companies have confirmed that for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, they will continue to make available such funds as may be needed by the Company and in particular do not intend to seek repayment of the amounts currently made available. The directors consider that this will enable the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment. As with any Company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
