The Board of Directors has considered the Group’s cash flow forecasts and the expected compliance with the Company’s financial covenants for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on this review, the Board of Directors has a reasonable expectation that, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance and vessel valuations, the Group will be able to continue in operational existence and comply with its financial covenants for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
