“Based on the company's financial forecasts, as well as the support of related companies, its director shareholders and its bankers, the directors consider the business to still be well positioned to meet the principal risks and uncertainties detailed below. Accordingly, in the opinion of the directors, it is therefore appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”
