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.
