- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The LLP continually forecasts and projects its financial position, results and cash flows. The members of the LLP have considered different scenarios on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the future. After considering these different scenarios, the members of the LLP have at least a reasonable expectation that the LLP has adequate resources to operate within the level of its current facilities and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the LLP continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In August 2025, two new lease agreements were signed in Paris. These leases increase the total operating lease commitments by €7,103,992. This is split between amounts committed in two to five years from the balance sheet date of €2,762,664 and in over five years from the balance sheet date of €4,341,329.”

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
