“At the time of approving the financial statements, given the current financing and availability of group support, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from time of approval. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
