(a) in the directors’ opinion, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they

become due and payable; and

(b) in the directors’ opinion, the attached financial statements and notes thereto are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with accounting standards and giving a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the company.
