Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to ceaseto continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
