Material uncertainty over going concern
As the company is reliant on the continued support from ultimate parent company, the directors have assessed the intention and ability of Giesecke+Devrient GmbH to continue to provide that support. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so.
