Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors have determined that it is inappropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting. This decision has been made in light of the Directors' intention to place the Company into liquidation. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than that of going concern.
