“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis given that OOCL (Assets) Holdings Inc., the intermediate parent company, has confirmed in writing to the Company its present intention to provide adequate financial support such as to allow the Company to pay its debts as they fall due and to allow the continued operations of the Company for a period of at least 12 months following the signing of these 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.”
