Going concern

Affirmed

“Becton, Dickinson and Company produces an annual strategic review (ASR) which is a 3 year projection of company profitability. The directors review this in order to satisfy themselves that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the period of this review. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The company has net current assets of 26,589,000 (2024: 21,606,000) at the year end and is dependent on the ongoing financial support of its ultimate parent undertaking, Becton, Dickinson and Company, who has confirmed to the directors of the company that this support will be available until 30 June 2027, in order to enable the company to fulfil its financial commitments as and when liabilities fall due. Accordingly, the directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
