We have audited the financial statements set out on Statements II to
VI. These financial statements are the responsibility of the directors
and management. The directors and management are required to select
suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently, make
judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, follow
applicable accounting standards and prepare the financial statements on
a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
company will continue in business. The directors and management are
responsible for keeping proper accounting records, for safeguarding the
assets of the company, and for the prevention and detection of fraud and
other irregularities. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards on auditing
generally accepted in Jamaica. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain all the information and explanations which
we consider necessary to provide us with reasonable assurance that the
financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by directors
and management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements
presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, proper accounting records have been kept and the
financial statements, which are in agreement therewith, present fairly
in all material respects the state of the company’s affairs as at March
31, 2001 and of its net loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the
year then ended, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting
standards generally accepted in Jamaica and comply with the provisions
of the Companies Act.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realisation of assets and the repayment of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, the company
incurred a net loss of J$26.641Billion during the year. The company’s
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the matters as
set forth in Note 21. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that would result if it were unable to do so. In addition
the reader’s attention is drawn to the matters described in Note 16(a).
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.
