“In preparing the Financial Statements, the going concern basis has not been adopted. The significant matter considered by the board of directors for the Company's going concern assessment was the WHOA Restructuring Plan with effective date being 30 June 2023. As at 30 September 2024, the Company's liabilities exceed its assets. However, amounts payable to group undertakings are structured as limited recourse loans, restricting the Company's liability to the fair value of its available assets.”

Significant events
- “On 13 August 2019, various companies in the Group had entered into a Creditors Voluntary Arrangement ("CVA") as described in note 15, and since its incorporation, the objective of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries has been to monetise assets in order to make repayments of outstanding debt to the CVA lenders.”
- “The current period operating loss was driven primarily by a gain on revaluation of investments in subsidiaries to fair value totalling €160,856,901 (2023: loss of €647,168,209), relating primarily to the Company's investment in Pepco Group, which is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.”
- “The Company also received dividends of €14,050,900 (2023: €nil) in the year.”
- “In the prior year, the Company made a loss from disposals of investments in subsidiaries totalling €24,849,739 (including costs), which arose when the Company sold a portion of its holding in Pepco Group N.V. and its subsidiaries via an accelerated book build. No such transaction occurred in the current year.”
- “Interest payable to group undertakings increased from €87,364,350 to €110,058,950 due to an increase in the interest rates charged.”
- “The implementation of the WHOA Restructuring Plan on 30 June 2023 included an amendment to the credit facilities and the CPUs of the Group, including a postponement of the due date of the SEAG's and SFHG's indebtedness from 30 June 2023 to at least 30 June 2026, with the possibility of further two one-year options to further extend the maturity dates up to 30 June 2028.”
