“Having reviewed cash flow forecasts to June 2027, the directors do not believe that there are material uncertainties which cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. For that reason, the directors consider the adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate.”
