“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors believe that the Company's available resources and any short-term requirement funded by its subsidiaries is sufficient to allow the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.”
