“As a result, the directors are confident that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements and accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
