- Yes — abridged accounts (limited disclosure)
- Auditor
- MHA Audit Services LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the directors have considered the financial position and support of the wider Group. Based on this assessment, the directors believe that the Company has adequate resources and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.”
Significant events
- “Effective January 1, 2025, three management service contracts were terminated. This event does not adjust the amounts recognised in these financial statements, as it pertains to a contractual situation that occurred after the reporting period. The termination is expected to reduce future intercompany group revenue by approximately EUR 1.1m per year going forward.”
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. 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
