Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“After reviewing cash flow forecasts for the wider Panini Group companies, together with availability of group-wide financing in the light of a group support letter being provided to the UK company by the immediate parent, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being at least for the next twelve months from the approval of these financial statements. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Significant investment continues to be made in acquiring licenses for future products. The current Premier League license expires in 2025.”

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
