“In determining the appropriate basis of preparation for the annual report and financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024, the Group's Directors ("the Directors") are required to consider whether the Group can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months following the approval of these financial statements. The forecasts prepared by the Directors show that the Group has the ability to continue to operate with the funding facilities available to it for a period of at least 12 months from signing of these financial statements. The Directors therefore consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.”
