Material uncertainty over going concern
Based on their enquiries and consideration of the company's financial position and forecasts, the Directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. However, the circumstances described above represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, to continue realising its assets and discharging its liabilities in the normal course of business.
