    Note to Financial Statements

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. In recent years, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which have been impacted further by the recognition of impairment losses of long-term assets and intangibles and the loss in the disposal of the Central America operations, which have led the Company to default in its long and short-term debt commitments. These situations, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
