"The Directors concluded, after rigorously evaluating relevant, available information, that, they expect the
Group to retain sufficient liquidity even in a severe but plausible downside scenario. Furthermore, they
expect the Group to maintain compliance with its financial covenants in the base case.
This conclusion required a significant judgement with respect to the possibility of requiring assistance
from lenders to adhere to the EBITDA financial covenant over the period to 31 December 2024, as
described above. In addition, the Group’s liquidity position is reliant on a small number of relatively high
value collections from clients which are not entirely within the direct control of the Group. Consequently,
in accordance with accounting standards, the Directors have concluded that there is a material
uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern during
the Assessment Period for the Group’s financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2023
relating to the timing of receipt of these collections from clients.
Based on this comprehensive assessment, the Directors concluded that the continued use of the going
concern basis of accounting in preparing the Group’s consolidated condensed financial statements for
the six months ended 30 June 2023 remains appropriate."
This is from note 2.4 and you are right it does say there is a material concern about them continuing as a going concern. But it also says they expect to retain sufficient liquidity even in a severe scenario. I am truly confused.
