“The Company's Directors performed detailed analysis as the review of the financial results for the year, the 2026 budget forecasts, as well as the Company's equity and financial structure and its operational and financial integration within the OTB Group. In addition, the Company's directors have received a letter of financial support from the Parent Company (OTB S.p.A.) covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements or the auditor's report, if later. Given the above, the Company's Directors consider that there are no uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the going concern assumption, on the basis of which this financial statement have been prepared. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
