- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's ability to be a going concern is considered dependent on the going concern of the Merseylink (Holdings) Limited group. The directors have reviewed the group's projected cash flows by reference to a financial model covering the accounting periods up to 31 March 2044. The directors have also examined the current status of the group's principal contracts, and likely developments for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Having reviewed the available information, the directors consider that the group will be able to meet its financial obligations on the due dates for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the directors consider that it is appropriate for the financial statements of the company and the group to be prepared on a going concern basis.”
