Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors have reviewed the obligations and cash flows of the business. They have an expectation that the Company has adequate resources to meet these obligations as they fall due for at least one year from the date of the financial statements being signed. However, as the Company is no longer operating the National Lottery, these financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. This is consistent with the prior year.

Significant events
- “As a result of the National Lottery's Third Operating Licence (the "Third Licence") ending on 31 January 2024 from that date, the Company no longer operated The National Lottery. The activities in the year under review are wholly related to handing over National Lottery operations to the new operator, Allwyn Entertainment Ltd, and the finalisation of Third Licence related responsibilities.”

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
