Total reserves including retained profitability and movement in reserves appeared positive. We would normally view a company positively for this. The balance sheet indicates the substantial net assets of a large company. The amount of net assets suggests sufficient cover for total debts and obligations for the size of the company inferred by the balance sheet.
