“The Company's business activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are continuously reviewed by the directors. These include the Company's cash flow and liquidity position. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. The Company meets its day to day working capital requirements through its cash resources. The Company's cash flow forecasts indicate an adequate level of liquidity to enable it to continue to trade and to meet its obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors are therefore confident that the Company has adequate resources to continue its normal business for the foreseeable future, and accordingly continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
