- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have identified no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over the ability of the company to continue as a going concern and therefore the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The company has some exposure to foreign currency risk due to revenue sourced from outside the UK and the recent launch of broadcasting activities in the United States.”
- “Following a review and subsequent internal audit of the revenue reported from an advertising partner a catch up payment was received which resulted in income having been understated for the year ended 31 May 2024. The following prior year adjustment has therefore been raised: Increase in revenue of £789,439; Increase in accrued income of £705,385; Increase in administrative expenses of £118,415; Increase in finance income of £34,362.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
