The latest update is out from Prosperity Investment Holdings Limited ( (HK:0310) ).

Prosperity Investment Holdings Limited has issued a supplemental announcement to its 2023 and 2024 annual reports, detailing a disclaimer of opinion by its auditor over the fair value of its investment in Wealth Spread Investment Limited. The investment, classified as a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income and valued at HK$5.293 million at end-2023, represents an indirect 7.94% interest in a zinc and lead mining entity in the PRC.

The disclaimer stems from difficulties in obtaining sufficient financial information from the underlying PRC entity, which hindered the auditor’s ability to verify that the investment’s fair value was free from material misstatement. As this balance rolls forward into the 2024 financial statements, both the auditor and the audit committee recognize a potential carry-forward impact on the group’s results and cash flows, though management agrees with the disclaimer and is pursuing better data access via ongoing requests to the controlling shareholder and enhanced communication channels with the PRC entity.
