Going concern |
The Directors are required to prepare the statutory financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. In satisfaction of this responsibility the Directors have also considered the Company’s ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due. |
The Directors have also paid special attention to the recent COVID-19 outbreak and the potential associated impact on the Company. |
The Directors have therefore reviewed the current and future financial position of the Company, its cash flows, and its liquidity position, specifically in respect of the above and the potential disruption to the business arising from a prolonged period of economic downturn, and any impact that this may have on the future of the industry both on the markets specifically targeted by the company and the industry as a whole. |
Although it is not possible to reliably forecast the length or severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, at the date of approval of the financial statements, the Directors were confident that the existing reserves and support from within the White Mountains Insurance Group together with external facilities will provide sufficient headroom to meet the forecast cash requirements that may have arisen from a downturn in activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
As such, the Directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. |
