- Going concern
- 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.”

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
