Material uncertainty over going concern
The company's liabilities significantly exceed its assets and it is dependent on the ongoing support of its director, who has indicated his continuing support. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
