“Whilst the Directors appreciate the difficultly in assessing the impact of the global events on the business and future cash flows, they have received written confirmation of financial support, from ASICS Europe BV, an intermediate parent company, for a period to 31 December 2027. The Directors have made the relevant enquiries around the ASICS European group and have reviewed the cash flow forecasts of ASICS Europe BV and are satisfied that ASICS Europe BV has adequate resources to provide the support to the company, if it is needed. The company has a cash balance of £(42,626) at 4 August 2026 and the Directors expect the company to be cash generative for a period to 31 December 2027. The Company participates in the ASICS European group cash pooling arrangement, which provides access to the group's cash resources and supports the day-to-day management of the Company's liquidity requirements. Together with the transfer pricing agreement in place, participation in the group cash pooling arrangement and the letter of support from ASICS Europe BV the cash position of the company is considered sufficient to cover its cash outflows during the going concern period. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, the Group announced the decision to carve out the Onitsuka Tiger business into a separate entity, with an effective date of 1 January 2027. At the date of approval of these financial statements, the financial and operational impact of this transaction is still being assessed and cannot yet be reliably estimated. Based on the information currently available, no material impact on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern has been identified, and no restructuring measures have been determined at this stage.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
