Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. We obtained the Company's going concern assessment, which was prepared by management and approved by the board and other senior executives in the UK and globally. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the period to 28 February 2026.”

Significant events

• “Beginning in October 2023, Nokia Technologies Oy and Alcatel Lucent SAS (collectively "Nokia") filed complaints alleging infringement of patents related to video-related technologies against the Company in the United Kingdom and Germany. The complaints allege, among other things, that certain Prime Video services and features of Amazon devices carrying the Prime Video app infringe Nokia's patents. The complaints seek injunctive relief, unspecified money damages and interest. The Company disputes the allegations of wrongdoing and intends to defend itself vigorously in these matters.”

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
