disclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. 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 and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
