- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company is profitable and had net current assets at the year end and have prepared forecasts that suggest that they will continue to meet their liabilities as they fall due for 12 months following the signing of these accounts. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Under an Exploitation Agreement effective 1 December 1992 Warner Chappell Music International Limited, a fellow group undertaking, accepted the benefit and burden of the company's rights and obligations under its current and future contracts with third parties.”
- “The company received dividends of £1,070 for the year ended 30 September 2024 (2023: £1,517) from investments in certain companies whose principal activity is also music publishing.”
- “Given the fact that the company is not actively operational and the fact that it has no employees, the company does not consider itself subject to key performance indicators.”

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
