Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors believe that the entity is well placed to manage its business risks and has prepared a cashflow forecast covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval. This forecast has been prepared and consolidated with the forecast of Lima Group Holdings Limited and Data Centre Ltd (together, 'the Group'). The Group is satisfied that there is sufficient support from its shareholders and that it has taken appropriate steps to enable it to pay all liabilities as and when they are called for having considered expected forecast performance against loan covenants. In addition, the parent company has provided a letter of support confirming that they will provide financial support to the company to enable it to continue in operation and to meet its obligations as and when they fall due. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the directors' report and accounts.”

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
