Material uncertainty over going concern
Although the directors currently have no reason to believe that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern post-separation, the inability to fully assess the future financial and operational framework of the Company following the transaction indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Significant events
- “Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. announced its intention to separate into two publicly traded companies (Warner Bros. and Discovery Global) in a tax-free transaction expected to be completed by mid-2026. This transaction is subject to closing and other conditions and is deemed a material uncertainty.”
- “In 2024 and prior years, the Company received £20,248,544 in tax losses for nil consideration. The Group is reassessing the surrender of these losses for group relief due to potential non-compliance with UK company law regarding distributions, and remedial action may be required, potentially including payment for losses.”
