Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the continued financial support from its immediate parent company, Solidus Solutions Group B.V. The financial statements of Solidus Solutions Group B.V. include a material uncertainty related to going concern and therefore the availability of support may be in doubt if required. As stated in note 2.3, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
