Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have performed an assessment of the financial performance and financial position of the Company and are satisfied that the business remains a going concern. In applying the going concern basis, the Directors have considered the recent trading performance of the Company. The Company is in a net current assets and net assets position as at 31 December 2024. The directors have also considered the Company's cash position and forecast cash flows for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company is reliant on paternal support from the Company's ultimate parent company, Chanel Limited. The parent company has provided a letter of support confirming it will provide financial support, if required, for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these accounts to allow the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due. In reaching their conclusion on going concern, the Directors of the Company considered the parents going concern assessment. Not only does Barrie Knitwear Limited remain a key supplier to Chanel's RTW (ready-to-wear) knitwear business, but the Company also continues to diversify its customer portfolio along with the ongoing development of the BARRIE brand and the continued investment in new plant and machinery.”

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
