“The directors believe that the company's position indicates that it has adequate resources to meet its liabilities for the foreseeable future as they fall due. In the unlikely event that it is not possible for the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due, due to the nature of the arrangement within the group, the company is economically dependent on the wider group. The company has obtained a letter of support from Take-Two Interactive Software Inc”
