Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
We draw attention to the going concern paragraph in the basis of preparation accounting policy which explains that the group is winding down its operations and therefore the director does 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.
