“On the basis of the above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. However, the Directors continue to recognise that certain circumstances, for example inflation, geo-political conflicts and political events both here and overseas do create risks and uncertainties.”
