“ARRK Corporation has indicated its willingness to provide financial support that may be necessary for the company to be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors have satisfied themselves that ARRK Corporation has the necessary financial resources to provide this support, should it be required. Consequently, the directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
