“In adopting the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements, the Directors have considered current and ongoing business activities of the Company and Group as well as the principal risks and uncertainties. The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of a severe but plausible change in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate within the level of its current banking facilities. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company and Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
