- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the shareholders have confirmed continued support to the company as and when it is required. The customer order book remains strong, the exact timing of when these orders will result in revenue is uncertain, however it is expected that the revenue will be recognised within the 12 months following the date of signing these accounts. Based on the above, the directors are of the opinion that the going concern principle is applicable and that the Company have the necessary resources to continue as a going concern for the forseeable future.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
