“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered the Company's current financial position, its forecast cash requirements, and the availability of continued financial support from its parent company and the Group's shareholders. The Group, which is headed by Football Ventures (Whites) Limited, is financed by its shareholders. The shareholders have provided assurances that they will not withdraw amounts introduced into the Group and in addition the shareholders have committed to financing any shortfalls in cash as and when they fall due. The Directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
