“As at 31 March 2025 the Company had net assets of £11.9m (2024: £10.9m) and net current assets of £5.4m (2024: £6.2m). The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis for the following reasons. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts extending to 30 September 2026 which indicate the company is profitable and cash generative. These forecasts indicate that, considering both the base case and plausible downside scenarios, the company will have sufficient to meet its liabilities as they become due during this period. The company is part of a group cash pooling arrangement with a net receivable balance of £5.5m as at 31 March 2025. On the basis that the company partly relies on intercompany funding as a participant in the group cash pooling arrangement, the company has obtained a letter of support from Epson Europe B.V., the immediate parent company. The letter confirms that the company will receive the necessary financial support to assist the company to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for the period to 30 September 2026. The directors have considered the ability of Epson Europe B.V. to provide support to the Company and are satisfied that Epson Europe B.V. is able to provide support given Epson Europe B.V. generates cash from its operations and has significant cash reserves of £99.6m as at 31 March 2025. After making due enquiries and assessing the above factors, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company possesses adequate resources to continue operations for a period to 30 September 2026. Consequently, the directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “After the balance sheet date, the Epson Group has reaffirmed its strategic intention to strengthen its Business and Strategy in the European region. As part of its global initiative to enhance profitability, group management has intensified its focus on improving the group's cost ratio. In this context, the Group is currently evaluating various operational efficiency measures within the European region. These may include potential organizational restructuring aimed at streamlining operations and improving long-term profitability”

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
