“At the time of signing of these financial statements no material uncertainties exist related to events or conditions that may give rise to significant doubt as to the company's ability to continue in operations for the foreseeable future being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The entity is expected to generate positive cash flows from the revenue projects which provides the directors with reasonable expectation that the company will be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements. Therefore, the use of going concern basis of accounting is deemed appropriate.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
