- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board's assessment of going concern took into account market turbulence due to the macroeconomic environment. After making enquiries and assessing the financial forecasts for 12 months from the date of signing of this report, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
