“In auditing the annual financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the the annual financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the annual financial statements are authorised for issue.”
