Ann: Independent Expert opines transaction is fair and reasonable, page-20

"KPMG" opines (epresses its opinion [In general, an opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement about matters commonly considered to be subjective, i.e. based on that which is less than absolutely certain, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. What distinguishes fact from opinion is that facts are verifiable, i.e. can be objectively proven to have occurred.)]

KPMG have come t their opinion in the "prevailing" circumstances.

I wonder if the value of Ken Aitkens CEO options were valued in any way relating to the "prevailing" circumstances.

Any how KPMG were never going to do anything but give the deal a big tick with the appropriate attached caveats

The reserves statement appears very conservative. This is where our future lies. Is  there any substance in the reserved. I am still reading, will revert later.
