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

| Current ratio | 4.50x | 4.25x | |
| Interest cover | 5.15x | 5.15x |

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Given the uncertainties identified in the Nynas Group Report, the ERL Directors conclude that in the short-term there are uncertainties in the environment but no uncertainty with regards to the ability of ERL to remain as a Going Concern. On this basis, having reviewed the future profitability and cashflows of ERL, the Directors consider it is appropriate that the accounts be prepared on a Going Concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The ongoing impact of the Ukraine war impacted the refinery performance in so far that production was reduced to only 73% utilisation due to the shareholders' supply decisions.”
