- Affirmed
“The Directors believe the company has sufficient funding in place and expect the company to be in compliance with its debt covenants even in severe but plausible downside scenarios. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
