“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered the impact of the group's principal risks and uncertainties on its cashflow forecasts and projections as well as the facilities currently available and cash injected following the change in ownership since the balance sheet date. The directors have performed sensitivity analysis on forecasts which do not indicate any breach of current facilities. As a result the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements.”
