“The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through on-going operating cash flow. Our cash projections, taking into account possible fluctuation in trading performance, indicate that the business will have sufficient cash to operate as planned while maintaining significant cash headroom. The directors have carried out detailed stress tests based on a scenario with no incremental new sales and also how far costs would need to increase before the Company recorded a $nil EBITDA balance. After undergoing this exercise, the directors are comfortable that both these scenarios and one where the Company finds itself with insufficient cash reserves are remote. The directors have, at the point of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, having taken into account the uncertainties referred to above, they consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”
