- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company is the immediate parent of the main UK trading company within the BASF Group, BASF plc. The company has limited cash flows forecast and will fund any cash requirements through the intercompany receivable balances it has. Therefore, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. For these reasons, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the company's financial statements.”

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
