Significant events
- “In the 2024 accounting period and prior years, the Company surrendered tax losses for nil consideration of £12.05 M, being the estimated value of the gross losses surrendered. The WildBrain Ltd. Group is reassessing its surrender of losses for group relief arising in these years in becoming aware of circumstances where a distribution may have been 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 is 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
