Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“It is management responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and provide related disclosures. As of 31 December 2024, the Company's current assets totalled $49,212, while current liabilities totalled $56,507 resulting in a negative working capital position of $7,295. Current liabilities included $5,324 of unearned revenue in relation to hires and freights received in advance as of 31 December 2024 (which represents a non-cash liability that will be recognized as revenue in 2025 as the services are rendered) and $7,164 of lease liabilities relating to Company's long-term leased vessels which the management assesses that will be covered by the vessels' operating cash flows. In considering going concern, the management has also reviewed the Company's future cash requirements and earnings projections. Management anticipates that the Company's primary sources of funds will be cash from operations as well as financial support from its parent company when needed. Management believes that these sources of funds will be sufficient for the Company to meet is liquidity needs for at least twelve months from the end of the reporting period and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
