Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Kreston Reeves LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have performed a going concern assessment which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Company has sufficient funds to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due during the going concern assessment period.”
Significant events
- “The Company's permissions were surrendered to the Financial Services Authority and it ceased trading on 10 February 2012. The Company's current principal activity is the placing of deposits with the ultimate parent company and it therefore earns interest on those deposits.”
- “The Directors are currently in the process of considering various options for the future of the entity, including the potential liquidation of the Company. However, no progress has been made on these nor have the Directors made any decision on these various options.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
