Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors believe to be appropriate as the company has signed a cash pool agreement with the parent undertaking, Global Blue Holland BV according to which funds will be available to the company as are needed by the company. This should enable the company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as and when they fall due for payment. Additionally, Global Blue Group Holding GmbH has indicated that for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements it will not seek repayment of the amounts owed at the balance sheet date by the company. The company's parent Global Blue Group Holding GmbH has also indicated that for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements it will continue to provide financial support to the company to enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.”

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
