For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements, which are shown on pages 12-40. In considering going concern, the directors have reviewed the cash flow requirements of the Company and Group, both under normal circumstances and reflecting the current assessment of the severe but plausible downside scenarios...
