McDowell Enterprises Inc said its auditors have decided to qualify their opinion on 1986 financial statements due to questions about the companys ability to continue as a going concern. McDowell said it will file its annual report for 1986 by April 15 after applying for an extension and will report a loss for the year of about six mln dlrs after a substantial writedown of assets and an increase in costs associated with its withdrawal from the construction business. In 1985 McDowell lost 2152000 dlrs before a 1240000 dlr loss from discontinued operations.
