At the balance sheet date, the company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets. The company has received assurance from the director that he will continue to give financial support to the company for twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. On this basis, the director considers it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. However, should the financial support mentioned above not be forthcoming, the going concern basis used in preparing the company's accounts may be invalid and adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their realisable amount and to provide for any further liabilities which might arise. The accounts do not include any adjustment to the company's assets or liabilities that might be necessary should this basis not continue to be appropriate.
