Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. The parent company, B&B Italia S.p.A has indicated that for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements they would guarantee to provide any deficit in working capital if they are needed by the company and in particular will not seek repayment of the amounts currently made available, to enable the company to continue In operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment.
