Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether dueto 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 SAswill always detect a material misstatement when itexists.

• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, design andperform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion.

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