“The group has the support of its bankers by virtue of a bank loan and working capital facilities. It has produced cashflow forecasts which indicate that in the opinion of the directors the group is able to service its debts as they fall due. For this reason, the directors consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.”
