Report Of The Auditors
specified for our review by the London Stock Exchange and their adoption of the going concern basis in preparing the
financial statements. The objective of our review is to draw attention to non-compliance with Listing Rules 12.43 (j) and 12.43
(v).
Basis of opinion
We carried out our review in accordance with guidance issued by the Auditing Practices Board. That guidance does not
require us to perform the additional work necessary to, and we do not, express any opinion on the effectiveness of either the
Group's system of internal financial control or its corporate governance procedures or on the ability of the Company to
continue in operational existence.
Opinion
With respect to the directors' statements on internal financial control and going concern, in our opinion the directors have
provided the disclosures required by the Listing Rules referred to above and such statements are not inconsistent with the
information of which we are aware from our audit work on the financial statements.
Based on enquiry of certain directors and officers of the Company, and examination of relevant documents, in our opinion the
directors' statement appropriately reflects the Company's compliance with the other paragraphs of the Code specified for our
review by Listing Rule 12.43 (j).
