Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate... As with any company placing reliance on the renewal of current agreements, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that these will be renewed and continued, although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that they will not do so.
