“Although there is a shareholders' deficit, the related entity have agreed to defer collection of their loan and to provide support until there is a net current asset position. On the basis of the deferral of the loan and continued support from the related entity, the directors consider that the company will continue to operate. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
