- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 parent company's and the group'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. Both syndicates continue to write business across all lines of business at rates it deems appropriate and therefore these accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors of the Group acknowledge the current net liability position at a Company and Group level. This is due to the share based payment liability in respect of the shares owned by employees of MAP and the constructive obligation of the EST to purchase these shares at fair value. However, under the Articles of Association, the EST does not have a legal obligation to purchase shares back from employees and can refuse (shares are then offered to current A and B shareholders in turn). In practice this would likely only happen if there were insufficient funds to purchase the shares, meaning the solvency position of the Company and Group can be managed effectively by the directors of MEL.”

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
