“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is viable. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have a significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ('the going concern period').”
