The financial statements which appear on pages 17 to 41 were approved by the board of directors on 1 December 2004 and signed on
their behalf.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and the preparation and integrity of the financial
statements and related information. The auditors are responsible to report on the fair presentation of the financial statements. The
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice and in the manner required by the
Companies Act, 1973.
The directors are also responsible for the company’s systems of internal financial control. These are designed to provide reasonable, but
not absolute, assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements, and to adequately safeguard, verify and maintain accountability
of assets, and to prevent and detect misstatement and loss. Nothing has come to the attention of the directors to indicate that any
material breakdown in the functioning of these controls, procedures and systems has occurred during the year under review.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, since the directors have every reason to believe that the
company has adequate resources in place to continue in operation for the foreseeable future.
