Material uncertainty over going concern
A material term loan facility obtained by KM Business Information Holdings Ltd Group ("Group") on which the company relies for financial support is approaching maturity which casts a material uncertainty over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. This in turn, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
