Material uncertainty over going concern
Although the directors currently have no reason to believe that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern after the completion of the PSKY Merger, the inability to fully assess the future financial and operational framework of the Company following the aforementioned transactions, including any future refinancing, indicates a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
