“The directors have considered the liquidity of the Company for at least a 12-month period from the date of approval of the financial statements. In performing this assessment, the Directors have considered the scale and nature of the order book, contracted termination clauses with key customers and vendors, and severe but plausible downside scenarios. As a result, they consider the Company well placed to tackle future challenges.”
