We confirm that the financial statements are in accordance with the books and records supplied to us, and that no matters have come to our attention giving us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect proper accounting records have not been kept, or that they do not comply with accounting regulations. We further confirm that no matter has come to our attention to which, in our opinion, attention needs to be drawn in order to obtain a proper understanding of the accounts.
