- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis After making appropriate enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for at least one year from the date of this report, which indicates that they will not seek the repayment of amounts advanced to the Company by the parent and/or other members of the Parent Group unless adequate alternative financing has been secured by the Company. For these reasons, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount or classification of assets and liabilities that would result if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.”
