“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate cash resources to cover the company's requirements for working capital expenditure for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these accounts. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
