Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on parent company support, the Nikon Corporation Group business plan, the forecasts of future business growth by the company, as agreed with the parent company and their assessment of the ability of the company to continue within the current funding arrangements, the directors have concluded that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and so have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The company experienced a 14.9% decrease in revenue compared to the previous financial year, with the continued impact of the Writers Guild of America strike in 2023, geo-political tensions and economic uncertainty affecting the Film and Commercial industry.”
• “The newly introduced trade tariffs are creating some economic uncertainty and may impact the company, partially due to the increased costs and partially due to the current changing nature of tariff policies. We will be reviewing them regularly and taking action to mitigate their potential negative effect.”
• “There are no post balance sheet events.”

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
