Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “2024 saw a continued reduction in demand for our key API products primarily due to a de-stocking effect and over capacities within the global market the company supplies.”
• “Raw material and energy costs are prone to increase and the company makes all efforts to pass onto the customer.”
• “Inherent risks in BASF products of obsolescence due to general market trends or competitors developing technically superior products and also the risk of a major incident involving a leak and contamination.”
• “Risk of significant changes in currency exchange rates. The company maintains constant management review of foreign exchange exposure and the group's policy is to hedge these risks using forward exchange contracts which are entered into by BASF Societas Europaea.”
• “The company is exposed to the risk of fluctuating future market demand, which may be influenced by changes in consumer preferences, economic conditions, competitive pressures, and technological advancements.”

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
