- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company is a subsidiary of the wider Vibrantz International Group headed by Vibrantz Technologies, Inc (together "the Group") which has a strong cash and liquidity position. On the basis of their assessment of the Company's financial position and resources, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its risks and uncertainties. The Vibrantz International Group utilises a centralised treasury function and therefore cashflows and resources are transferred around the Group as required. The ultimate parent entity has confirmed to the Group, which the Company is part of, that its intention is to provide financial and other support to enable the Group, and therefore the Company, to meet its financial liabilities for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved. Therefore, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of the at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved. Thus, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
