Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which explains that the company has ceased its principal activity and will not continue as a going concern and therefore 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 as described in Note 1.
