- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board has reviewed its financial forecasts and considered the availability of cash reserves and headroom over banking covenants. As part of this review the Board has assessed a number of financial scenarios, that last for a period of at least 12 months from the date that the financial statements have been signed. The Directors conclude that there is a reasonable prospect that the business will continue to be a going concern for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
