“The company provides support to related companies which has continued since the balance sheet date. The repayment of debts due from related companies relies on commercial contracts which are currently under negotiation. The company continues to trade profitably and there are no material uncertainties over the company's ability to continue to trade, therefore the directors consider the continuing adoption of the going concern basis to be appropriate.”
