Investment in subsidiaries The Company’s investment in subsidiaries is reviewed annually for impairment, or when a change in circumstances indicates that it might be impaired. When required, the recoverable amounts of subsidiaries are determined by value-in-use calculations, which require the use of estimates to derive the projected future cash flows attributable to each subsidiary. If the projected cash flows cannot support the cost of investment, an impairment in the investment in subsidiary may be required. Details of the investment in subsidiaries are given in Note 41. 39. Profit for the year Brooks Macdonald Group plc reported profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2024 of £13,105,000 (FY23: £21,014,000).
