- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company's director has evaluated the uncertainties and instability in the economic and market conditions arising from ongoing inflationary pressures and fluctuating interest rates. After careful consideration, he has determined that these factors do not materially impact the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its inter-company cash pool service agreement. The Company's forecasts and projections, which account for reasonably possible variations in trading performance, show that the Company should be able to operate within the level of its current cash reserves and borrowings. After making enquiries, the director has a reasonable expectation that the Company possesses adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. Additionaly, the Company has received a letter of support from its ultimate parent company, eBay Inc., stating that it is willing and able to financially support the operations of the Company during a period of 12 months from the date of approval of accounts.”
