Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- Magma Audit LLP (part of the Dains Group)
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In assessing this, the directors prepare forecasts (financial and cash-flow) to ensure that the company has sufficient facilities in place to meet their liabilities as they fall due. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Group structure
- PYRAMID POSTERS LIMITED · parent
- No. 999 Leicester Limited 100%
- Pyramid Europe GmbH 90%
Significant events
- “Our UK entity Pyramid Posters Limited, saw a reduction in total sales of 1% compared to 2023, however this was impacted by the company experiencing a cyber attack in January 2024. Although appropriate provisions have been made in these financial statements for insurance proceeds received, the company lost approximately 1 month's turnover as a consequence of the incident.”
- “Additionally, these financial statements reflect significant charges for bad debts of £793,421 (2023: £36,388) and impairment of investments of £282,495 (2023: £nil), predominantly due to the liquidation of Hole In The Wall B.V. and Pyramid France.”
- “On 1 October 2024 a share-for-share exchange was undertaken whereby the shareholders of Pyramid Posters Limited exchanged their shares for shares in Pyramid Posters Holdings Limited, which became the new parent company of the group.”

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
