- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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.”

Significant events
- “The film and television, and technology industry were significantly impacted during the year ended 31 December 2024 due to the continued unprecedented negative impact of the SAG AFTRA and Writers' Guild strikes ('the Strikes'). These events negatively affected the film and television sectors in the UK and globally throughout the second half of the 2023 and throughout the 2024 calendar year.”
- “In February 2024, all trade ceased between Hammerhead and InCamera Limited ("the JV"), a 50% Joint Venture via a fellow subsidiary. In May 2025 the remaining 50% of the JV was acquired.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
