Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The nature of the Group's principal activity means that there is significant expenditure during active television production phases and substantially lower costs outside of these periods. The Group's robust financial planning and funding arrangements ensure operational continuity and financial stability throughout. Therefore, the fluctuating costs associated with our production cycles do not pose a threat to our status as a going concern. As a result, the director believes that it remains appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

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
