“Talan has a sound financial record including strong operating cash flows derived from recurring revenues across a range of contracts. At the time of the approval of the financial statements the majority of the Group's revenue-generating activities are continuing, underpinned by long-term contracts, and there has been no indication of issues with clients' ability to pay on a timely basis. Therefore, the Board confirms that, after making appropriate enquiries, it is of the opinion that the Group has adequate resources to meet its obligations and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these accounts.”
