The directors confirm that, in their opinion, the company is a going concern. Although the shareholder loans are formally repayable on demand, the lenders - major shareholders - have not sought repayment and in the opinion of the directors are unlikely to do so. They have also agreed to convert the loans into equity, should the company choose to do so, at any time. This provides a credible option to strengthen the balance sheet without drawing on cash reserves. If the loans were not repaid or are converted into equity, the balance sheet would show a surplus of £56,316. On this basis, and having reviewed current trading and future cash flow forecasts, the directors are of the opinion that the the going concern basis remains appropriate.
