Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months. Despite the entity operating at a loss and the challenges in the VR market, the Group have undergone restructuring to mitigate these challenges and have the ongoing financial support of the parent company, thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Work continued on Studio Elevation's 'Project Atlas', subsequently announced as the highly anticipated game 'Reach', which is tabled to launch in October 2025. The business also brought Near Light Studio's free-to-play 'Frenzies' game to the market, with an early access release in late 2024, and further features, gameplay and monetisation planned throughout 2025.”
- “The Group also secured further contracts to deliver content for both existing and new-to-market headset providers, explored opportunities within the newly announced Meta Horizon Worlds and also entered into a co-development arrangement known as 'Project Lone Star'.”
- “In November 2023, Aonic acquired the remaining stake in the Group, becoming its 100% parent entity.”
- “The Group entered a restructuring process in October 2024 and the business closed two of its studios - nDreams Farnborough and nDreams Orbital. Orbital's 'Project Zeus' was cancelled and its development value written off during the period. Sadly, a number of employees were made redundant, with the company scaling its workforce back by around 17%.”
- “This adjusted strategy led to the formation of a new studio - aptly named 'Compass', where smaller, rapid-iteration games that are well suited to emerging player demographics will be developed and brought to market. Compass began ideation and prototyping in late 2024 and already has some exciting own-IP games in the pipeline, including 'Wreckin' Raccoon, launching in September 2025.”
