group's profit and cash flow projections indicate that the
financial covenants included within the new bank loan agreement will be met
for the foreseeable future.
The group continues to have substantial cash resources which at 31 December
2016 amounted to £22.8 million compared with £20.7 million as at 31 December
2015. Profit and cash flow projections for 2017 and 2018, which have been
prepared on a conservative basis taking into account reasonably possible
changes in trading performance, indicate that the group will be profitable and
generate positive cash flows after loan repayments. These forecasts and
projections indicate that the group should be able to operate within the new
bank facility agreement and that all associated covenants will be met.
The board considers that the group has considerable financial resources and a
wide operational base. As a consequence, the board believes that the group is
well placed to manage its business risks successfully, as demonstrated by the
current year's result, despite some uncertain external influences.
After making enquiries, the board has a reasonable expectation that the group
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. Accordingly, the board continues to adopt the going
concern basis when preparing this Annual Report and Financial Statements.
