The Group is also evaluating and seeking a number of additional sources of financing for the Tulu Kapi project, the main focus of which is securing initial equity or subordinated debt including the funding of US $58 million at the project level. The first is the Ethiopian Government in the process of contributing project equity of up US$20 million; and the balance from one or more other proposed Ethiopian private sector partners, with a proposed aggregate equity investment of US$38 million (Note 28).
In addition, the Group has mandated two African based banks to provide long term project financing to the project subject to the completion of the banks due diligence processes.
As a result of historical and ongoing proactive discussions with stakeholders, the Board has a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to raise further funds in order to meet its obligations. Notwithstanding this, COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on the global economy which may mean it is harder to secure additional funding than has historically been the case.
Subject to the above, which the Board has a reasonable expectation can be achieved, the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, there are currently no unconditional, binding agreements in place in respect of any additional funding and there is no guarantee that any course of funding will proceed or that suppliers will continue to agree to extended settlements. Therefore, as set out above, this indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern.
