Audit opinion

Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“However, members of the Group and its parent entities, remain involved in the potential transaction relating to TMGH described above which is expected to complete imminently and would result in a change in the Group and Company's controlling party and directors in the going concern period. The current directors may not remain on the boards of the Group and Company after a transaction is consummated, and as such do not have certainty on the plans of the future directors of the Group and Company, including any financing arrangements, which creates a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
