- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared a going concern assessment which includes the preparation of forecasts, modelling various sensitivities, for a period of greater than 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. These demonstrate that the group has sufficient resources to meet all its financial obligations as they fall due with the continued support of the intermediary parent company Osprey Bidco Limited, where the Groups facility is held. Accordingly, the directors have concluded that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.”
