Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company is dependent upon its parent undertaking, PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk. (MEI), to assist it in meeting its liabilities as they fall due, to the extent that money is not available to the Company to meet such liabilities, for a period ending 04 July 2026, being the going concern period. MEI has confirmed it will and has the ability to provide financial support to the Company to the extent that the Company is unable to meet its obligations from its own sources and; that it will not call for repayment of any outstanding amounts due if to do so would leave the Company in such a position that it would not be able to meet its other liabilities as they fall due. ... The Directors have made enquiries of the MEI Group and are satisfied that it has prepared forecasts reflecting current market conditions, and that it has adequate resources to continue its operations over the going concern period. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period to 04 July 2026.”

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. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
