- Affirmed
“The Directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied that it has the resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered the Company's financial position, the results of stress testing under various scenarios, and the expected future performance of the business. Additionally, the Company maintains a strong liquidity position, and its debt servicing obligations are well-managed. No material uncertainties have been identified that would cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. As a result, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
