“Although the balance sheet at year-end shows net liabilities, the directors are satisfied that this presentation reflects the long-term capital structure of the Company rather than any operational weakness. Written confirmation of continuing financial support has been received from the holding company, Truestone Ark Limited, which has committed to providing such support for a minimum of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The holding company, together with its shareholders, have confirmed that they have no intention to seek repayment of any loans due to them. This financial support will continue indefinitely. Based on this support and projected cash flows, the directors consider that the going concern basis remains appropriate.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
