- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “Searchlight Ventures Group Limited operates 18 entertainment venues across the UK, following the acquisition of All Star in May 2025. It was created as part of the Management Buy-out in October 2024 backed by Risk Capital Partners which resulted in all existing debt being repaid. The deal was also supported by Barclays Bank Plc, who provided a new growth capital facility to support the growth strategy. The Light Venues Limited is responsible for the creation of cinema based, multi-entertainment venues. Post the October 2024 it acquired all the cinema, multi entertainment venues of the wider group. April 2025 saw the opening of the largest project to date at the Kingsgate Shopping Centre in Huddersfield, a 70,000 sq. ft site over 3 floors including a 6 screen cinema and 15 leisure activities. The project has seen strong trading from the start which continues to validate this being the core strategy of the group.”
