Affirmed

“The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate without other third party support. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
