“At the time of approving the financial statements the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have prepared forecast information that indicates that the cash balances available will provide a cash runway for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
