- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. In the current financial year the Company has cash outflows of £12,459,565 and a profit of £5,497,878. In addition the Company has net current assets at 31 December 2024 of £9,005,426. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds including refunding the cash held in relation to tickets for future events, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. In addition, the directors have considered a downside scenario in which there is an impact on income as a result of current inflation and cost of living reducing consumer spend. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the year the parent company, Stage C Limited, acquired the freehold of the venue, Hammersmith Apollo. The terms remained the same. Accordingly the right-of-use asset and lease liability were not re-assessed.”

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
