- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors are of an opinion that the group has sufficient access to working capital to ensure that it can continue to trade as a going concern. Therefore, at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the signing of the financial statements. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
