“The Company is reliant on the support of its ultimate parent company, Eagle Superco Limited, to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. However, the directors consider that the Company is an integral part of Eagle Superco Limited structure and strategy, which is evidenced by a letter of comfort from Eagle Superco Limited, which states its commitment to provide necessary financial support to ensure that the Company is a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. After making enquiries and taking account of the factors noted above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have access to adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the directors' report and financial statements.”
