- Affirmed
“The directors considered the operating nature of the entity where all transactions are conducted with parent company. The directors also assessed the outstanding inter-company payables and inter-company receivables for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds through funding from its ultimate parent Warner Music Group Corp to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”

Significant events
- “Under a License Agreement, which was implemented from 1st October 2014, Warner Music UK Limited, the immediate parent undertaking, accepted the benefit and burden of the company's rights and obligations under its current and future contracts with third parties. Following signature of this Agreement, all receivables and payables in relation to the company's rights and obligations were transferred to Warner Music UK Limited in exchange for an annual royalty consideration of £625,000 per annum until either party terminates the agreement. The royalty fee has been reviewed in light of the catalogue sale made in prior years, both parties agreed that no change is needed.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
