“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate. The directors have prepared budgets and forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, which indicate that the Company will have sufficient funds, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The Company has also received a letter of support from Engel Austria GmbH to enable the Company to perform its business objectives. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
