“The Directors have considered the Company's current and future prospects, and its availability of financing, and are satisfied that the Company can continue to pay its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt over the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In an unlikely event that the Company requires assistance to meet its financial obligations, the immediate parent undertaking would be able to provide support to the Company. The Directors have received a letter of support from the immediate parent undertaking, confirming it will provide financial support to the Company if needed, for a period of 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. The Directors have assessed the ability of the immediate parent undertaking to provide financial support and are confident that the immediate parent undertaking has adequate cash resources to assist the Company in meeting its liabilities as and when they fall due, if necessary. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
