Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements of the ultimate parent company included a material uncertainty related to going concern and as a result this indicates that a material uncertainty exists which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore the Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Significant events
- “During the year, the Company's revenue decreased by 66.7% due to falling Pay TV device revenue.”
- “The significant decrease in Pay TV device revenues over the past three years has been driven by heightened competition from commoditised, low-margin Pay TV streaming devices.”
- “To address these trends, we proactively reduced Amino's cost base in the first half of the year, aligning with this anticipated revenue decline.”
- “Overall the Company made an adjusted operating loss of £2,088,272 (2023: £2,642,978).”
- “Encouragingly, advance sales orders also increased in the latter half of FY2024, providing a solid foundation heading into FY2025.”

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
