“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered the factors which impact the company's future development, performance, cash flow, and financial position in forming their opinion on the going concern basis. The directors believe that the company has adequate resources to continue to operate and meet its obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and therefore use of the going concern assumption is appropriate.”
