“On the basis of the company's forecasts, and having received a letter of support from G D Warner confirming his intention to continue to support the company, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The forecast assumes that facilities in place at the date of approval of the accounts will continue on no less favourable terms than current arrangements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from insufficient facilities being made available to the company.”
