Blue Label Telecoms Integrated Annual Report 2019
Blue Label annual financial statements 2019 5 Banking facility In August 2019, The Prepaid Company concluded an addendum to its facilities agreement with Investec Bank Limited in terms of which the facility was increased by R150 million. Going concern The Board of Directors have evaluated the going concern assumption as at 31 May 2019 and considered it to be appropriate in the preparation of these financial statements. The Prepaid Company’s Investec banking facilities, which would have expired on 30 September 2019, have been extended to 29 November 2019 and discussions are in progress for a further extension beyond that date. As at the date of these financial statements, the renegotiation of these facilities had not yet been completed, and although the directors are of the opinion that the facilities would be extended beyond November 2019, material uncertainty exists should these facilities not be extended. In this event, certain liabilities within the Group would not be settled in the normal course of business. The directors are confident that the successful completion of the transactions, as detailed in the subsequent events above, will result in a significant reduction in interest-bearing debt and in turn the strengthening of the Group’s balance sheet.
