- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Revenue reduced slightly year-on-year; however, gross margin improved to 47.3% (2024: 44.0%). This primarily reflects a higher proportion of digital sales and a lower year-end estimate of discounts and returns.”
- “The gross margin improvement resulted in an increase in operating profit to £2.55m (13.5%) (2024: £1.83m; 9.4%).”
- “The company has also in recent years implemented new human resource initiatives in the areas of employees and environmental matters in line with Group initiatives.”
- “The profit for the year, after taxation, was £1,893,611 (2024: £1,363,276). The continued profitability of the company for the current year is due to a continued strong roster of titles and continued growth in digital revenue.”
- “The company maintains a healthy liquidity position as at 31 March 2025 with net assets of £10,895,474 (2024: £10,228,863) including a cash balance of £10,906,452 (2024: £6,631,948) and no external debt.”
- “Based on the planned release schedule and approved budgets and cash-flow forecasts, the company anticipates maintaining a healthy level of profitability over the next 12 months.”

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
