- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, notwithstanding net liabilities of $20,406, which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The company is dependent for its working capital on funds provided to it by Actis LLP, the company's intermediate holding entity. Actis LLP has provided the company with an undertaking that for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements it will continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company and will not seek repayment of the amounts currently made available. This should enable the company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
