Apollo Future Mobility Clarifies Audit Qualification Over Hypercar R&D Deposit

The latest update is out from Apollo Future Mobility Group Limited ( (HK:0860) ).

Apollo Future Mobility Group has provided supplemental information to its 2024 annual report, clarifying the circumstances behind a qualified opinion issued by its former auditors. The issue centers on payments recorded as a deposit for research and development costs related to a crucial hypercar component contracted to a British Virgin Islands entity, where auditors found the specific deliverables and intellectual property arrangements insufficiently defined.

The company stressed that the qualification arose from a limitation in audit scope rather than any disagreement over accounting judgments or identified misstatements in its financial statements. Management said it could not deliver the highly detailed technical roadmap, milestones and deliverable breakdown requested by auditors within the available timeframe, despite supplying all information it had and engaging both the auditors and the project counterparty in attempts to address the concerns.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0860) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.64 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Apollo Future Mobility Group Limited stock, see the HK:0860 Stock Forecast page.
