- Affirmed
“No material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern have been identified by the directors. On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position, the company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events
- “On June 9, 2025, the ultimate parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (WBD), announced that the Board has decided to separate Warner Bros. Discovery into two independent companies - each with its own leadership, strategy, and operational direction as well as distinct publicly traded entities: Warner Bros. and Discovery Global. This announcement represents a forward-looking statement. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of this organisational change on the Company.”
- “In the 2024 accounting period and prior years, the company received tax losses for nil consideration of £59,568, being the estimated value of the gross losses received. The Group is reassessing its surrender of losses for group relief arising in these years in light of becoming aware of circumstances where a distribution may have taken place otherwise than in accordance with UK company law. As of the date of these financial statements, the company is in the process of determining whether any remedial action needs to be taken. The remedial action might include payment for the losses although this has yet to be determined.”

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
