- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future as the group and company has access to financing from its shareholders who continue to support the group and company. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
