Chairman's statement
Limitless is a proactive investment company that focuses on making investments
in and assisting companies that show the potential to generate returns through
capital appreciation. It is the Directors' strategy to invest in small

Sciences and Technology.

Waste to Energy (Saxa Gree S.p.A).
The Board relies on its own know-how, on an extensive network in the financial
system and external advisers to enable it to make the right investment in the
right sector at the right time. It has already analysed more than twenty
investment opportunities in the first months of operations and has engaged
advisers on one investment in the Life Sciences area where discussions with
management are on-going.
The Board understands that cost control is important at all times and
particularly pre-investment and it ensures that operating costs are kept to a
minimum to in order to preserve shareholder value.

((2015: GBP299,671) - includes the cost of the listing process, which was GBP
168,000). The audited balance sheet reflects the cash and cash equivalents at
the reporting date of GBP1,530,404.
Post year end the Company continued its investing with a GBP200,000 investment in
Exogenesis Corporation, based in Boston Massachusetts, which has developed

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General Information
Limitless Earth Plc is a company incorporated and domiciled in the United
Kingdom. The Company is a public limited company, which is listed on the AIM
market of the London Stock Exchange. The address of the registered office is 30
Percy Street, London, W1T 2DB
The Investing Policy is to invest principally, but not exclusively, in sectors
where changing demographic factors are important drivers of growth. The Company
intends to focus initially on projects located in Europe but will also consider
investments in other geographical regions. The Company may become an active
investor, acquire controlling stakes or minority positions, in each case, as
the Board considers appropriate and commercial
The financial statements are presented in British Pounds Sterling, the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the Company's operates from.
2. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial
statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied
throughout the period, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and IFRIC
interpretations as adopted by the European Union applicable to
companies reporting under IFRSs. The financial statements have also
been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs
requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of
applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a
higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions
and estimates are significant to the financial statements are
disclosed later in these accounting policies.
Going Concern
The directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements,
a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate
resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. Thus
they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the financial statements.
3. Loss per share
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to
equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
in issue during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares. No share warrants outstanding at 31 January 2016
were dilutive and all such potential ordinary shares are therefore excluded
from the weighted average number of Ordinary shares for the purposes of
calculating diluted earnings per share.
