“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements in order to assess going concern which indicates that the Company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its immediate parent company, Sega Europe Limited, to meet its liabilities as they fall due during the going concern assessment period. The Company's only source of revenue is through games development activity for other group entities and meets its day to day working capital requirements through the use of a cash pooling facility provided by Sega Europe Limited. The cash pool facility operated by the Sega Europe Limited provides access to cash upon request to enable the Company to pay its obligations as they fall due. The Company is therefore dependent on Sega Europe Limited to ensure that the cash pooling facility remains available. Sega Europe Limited has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company during the going concern assessment period. 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. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
