- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors regularly monitor performance against budgets and forecasts and are confident that the business is performing in line with expectations. They have reviewed cash flow projections, evaluated banking facilities including noting that the invoice discount facility is repayable on demand and cash reserves covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This review included stress testing and downside scenario analysis. Based on this assessment, the directors are satisfied that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence and meet its obligations as they fall due without utlising the invoicing facility. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
