“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. On this basis, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements, and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
