- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the accounts, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the accounts is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the accounts are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The demise of one of our Key partners, Digital River and their German subsidiary 'ShareIT' after 24 years or so”
- “Current political instability and conflict are a concern and make currency conversion planning to UK Sterling very difficult and could ultimately affect our business, as it would any other - should it continue for a long period or even escalate.”
