- Affirmed
“Based on this assessment, the Directors have reasonable expectations that the Company and Group have adequate resources to be able to support growth, working capital commitments, committed capital expenditure and to meet its obligations as they fall due utilising the current facilities that are in place for a period of at least 12 months after signing of these financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider appropriate.”
