Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 2.1 to the financial statements which explains that due to the cessation of trade, the directors do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as described in Note 2.1. Our opinion is not modified in regard to this matter.
