Material uncertainty over going concern
This entity is dependent on the support of the group and the group are dependent on successful refinancing of the existing loan facilities, which is not guaranteed. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the company may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business. The directors have a reasonable expectation that refinancing will be successful and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes that the entity will continue in operation for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
