Going concern

Affirmed

“At the year end the company has net current liabilities of £14,276,000 and hence is reliant on parental support. Textron Inc. has confirmed that it will provide the necessary support for the period to 31 December 2026 being the going concern review period assessed by the directors to enable the company to settle its liabilities as they fall due. The directors have a reasonable expectation that Textron Inc. has adequate resources and liquidity to support the company for the going concern review period, given cash and equivalents of $1,446 million at 27 September 2025, as per the latest reported results, and a positive trading outlook.”

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
