Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
We draw attention to page 17 of the Financial Statements which explains that the Directors do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements. Accordingly, the Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
