- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Management has produced forecasts that have also been sensitised to reflect plausible downside scenarios, which have been reviewed by the directors. The cash flow forecasts, along with a letter of support, demonstrate the Company can meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. Due to the cost-plus recharge model implemented, the directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements.”
