Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, taking into account the group's forecasts and projections of anticipated trading performance together with the cashflow support and letter of support received from its parent company, Eurofip International GmbH, for a period of more than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This circumstance indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern without group financial support.

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.
