I betragtning 58 i beslutningen om at udvide proceduren bemærkede Kommissionen med tilfredshed, at BankCo synes at blive en rentabel bank på grundlag af de foranstaltninger, som Det Forenede Kongerige havde foreslået, og ikke risikerer at opleve de samme likviditetsproblemer som NR. Kommissionen bemærkede imidlertid også, at der ikke var forelagt en forretningsplan, der viser, hvordan BankCo vil blive en rentabel enhed på mellemlang og lang sigt, og at BankCo's rentabilitet derfor ikke kunne påvises.
In paragraph 58 of the extension decision the Commission noted positively that BankCo seems to become a viable bank as a result of the measures proposed by the United Kingdom and does not risk encountering the same liquidity problems as NR. However, it also observed that no business plan demonstrating how BankCo will become a viable entity in the medium- to long-term had been submitted and that therefore the viability of BankCo could not be demonstrated.
