The Directors acknowledge that the Stock Exchange has no responsibility whatsoever with regard to the Information and undertake to indemnify the Exchange against all liability incurred and all losses suffered by the Exchange in connection with or relating to the Information. 1. Basis of preparation (a) The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and comply with accounting standards issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants. (b) The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The assumption is dependent upon the successful completion of the restructuring of the Group's debts, the continuing financial support of the Group's bankers and creditors and other external funding being available. The Group is presently engaged in negotiations with its major creditors with a view to achieve debt restructuring agreement with each of them. The directors are of the opinion that the Group will be able to finalise the debt restructuring arrangement with major creditors and obtain new working capital in order to enable the Group to continue as a going concern and meeting its working capital and financing requirements for the foreseeable future. On this basis, the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. The accounts however do not include any adjustments that would result if the aforementioned negotiations were not successful. Had the going concern basis not been used, adjustments would have to be made to reclassify non-current assets as current assets and non-current liabilities as current liabilities, reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amounts and provide for any future liabilities which might arise. 2.
