“In 2024, the Group was loss-making as a result of the SAG AFTRA and Writer's Guild strikes. As at 31 December 2024, the Group had significant overdue liabilities with a major third-party creditor and the Balance Sheet was in a net liability position. A payment arrangement was subsequently entered into with this creditor to settle the outstanding liability. As of the date of approval of these financial statements, all payments under the agreement have been made when they fell due and the Company is on track for full resolution of the overdue liability. Management has implemented a new strategic plan, launching new revenue offerings while significantly reducing headcount and implementing other cost-cutting measures. Management also remains confident of the continuance of support from shareholders. Based on cash flow forecasts prepared after implementing the strategic plan, management concluded that the Group will continue to meet its obligations as they fall due and is operating on a going concern basis.”
