- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

- “The Lloyd's exposure to the Los Angeles wildfires, estimated at a net loss of $2.3bn, represents a 3-5% market share of the total estimated industry loss.”
- “The 2021 year of Atrium syndicate 609 remains open with a small declared loss due to uncertainty surrounding potential liability to the trapped aircraft in Russia.”

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
