“The company has been incorporated to produce the film 'Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl'. The production of this film was completed and the film was released in 2024. Following the finalisation of film production the company has ceased principal activity and begun the process of realising remaining assets and settling liabilities. Accordingly the financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis. As the company expects to realise its assets and settle its liabilities for book value, there have been no adjustments required as a result of not preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
