- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, and as they have concluded that the Group’s and the Company’s financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt over their ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ('the going concern period').”
