Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw your attention to note 2 in the financial statements, which highlights that the company is undergoing refinancing activities, as well as refinancing of the Director's loan notes. As stated in note 2, 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.
