“The board has examined its strategy and considered its profit and loss and cash flow projections for the accounting periods to 28 February 2028. It has evaluated the hire purchase, loan and overdraft facilities available to the group in connection with the periods examined. After due enquiry and the modelling of downside scenarios, the board has judged the cash flow forecasts, asset financing and banking resources of the group to be adequate to support its continued operations for the foreseeable future and has adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
