Material uncertainty over going concern
The severe but plausible downside cash flow forecast indicates that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Consequently, ongoing funding may be required from its ultimate parent company Giesecke+Devrient GmbH. The immediate parent company, Giesecke+Devrient ePayments GmbH, has indicated that it will provide financial support to the company to meet its liabilities during the forecast period if required.

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
