Going concern

Affirmed

“Due to the structure of the entity there is reliance on intercompany financing for the day to day operations via a central treasury function, the entity also has intercompany loan balances that are repayable on demand. As such the directors have obtained a letter of support from the ultimate parent company GvH Vermogensverwaltungsgesellschaft XXXIII mbh. Based on enquiries performed and review of parent company going concern forecasts the directors are confident that the ultimate parent can provide such support for the period to 30 September 2026, which is the formal going concern period assessed by the directors. On this basis they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. In their assessment of Going Concern the directors have given consideration to the impact of macroeconomic uncertainties on the company's financial position. The business has seen significant cost increases as a result of the current economic environment which has put pressure on margins, but revenues also increased during the year. Measures have been put in place to mitigate the impact of cost increases, as such the company forecasts show growth in operating profit over the next year.”

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
