- Nyman Libson Paul LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the company's budget for the next financial year, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, and the commitment of its parent company, Goldcrest Investment Holdings Limited to provide financial support for the foreseeable future, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Following a strong result in 2022, the business faced the repercussions of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023 and 2024. Although the strikes were resolved in 2023, their lingering effects are anticipated to extend into 2024. To safeguard the Company's financial well-being throughout 2023 and 2024, various cost-cutting measures were implemented. Encouragingly, major bookings have been secured for 2025 through 2026, reflecting a substantial pent-up demand.”

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
