- Affirmed
“The Company is expected to continue to generate positive cash flows on its own account for the foreseeable future. The Company participates in centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries. The directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
