financial statements
10. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the Standalone financial statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assuranceis a high level of assurance but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese Standalone financial statements.
11. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgement and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the Standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resultingfrom error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.

Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
