Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have assessed the global economic stresses on all aspects of the business, focussing specifically on operations and cashflows of the Company and group and supply chain capacity from the Brother factories in the Far East. The Company shares and benefits from banking and treasury facilities with the group along with significant reliance on intercompany trade, but it is otherwise considered independent with strong reserves and projected positive cash flows. Continual review of the forecasts covering at least 12 months included assessing the levels of cash and available finance within the Company is done regularly during the year. The Directors have also considered the ongoing availability of finance. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies, see note 2. Noted that the Company has received a letter of support from Brother Industries Limited (BIL), the ultimate parent company, containing assurances they will continue to financially support BIE. This letter of support is valid for 12 months from the signing of the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025.”

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
