Full wording and sources
Auditor's report, year to 2023-08-31: material uncertainty related to going concern
MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY RELATED TO THE GOING CONCERN: We draw attention to note 25 of the consolidated and note 22 of the separate financial statements, which indicates that the group and company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by NAD 1 712 million and NAD 1 564 million respectively, with total assets exceeding total liabilities by NAD 1 153 million and NAD 1 312 million respectively. As stated in note 25 of the consolidated and note 22 of the separate financial statements, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 25 of the consolidated and note 22 of the separate financial statements, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group and company's ability to continue as a going concern. ... Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. (PDF p44)
