- Audit opinion

- Going concern

“The current assets of the Company exceed the current liabilities as at the balance sheet date. Based on the above, management believes that the entity can pay debts as and when they fall due. Accordingly, the director adopted the going concern basis in preparing the Annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Paramount, Skydance Media, LLC ("Skydance") and other parties entered into a definitive transaction agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") pursuant to which Paramount and Skydance will become subsidiaries of a new holding company (the "Skydance Merger"). Concurrent with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, certain affiliates of existing investors of Skydance (the "Skydance Investor Group"), including members of the Ellison family and affiliates of RedBird Capital Partners, entered into an agreement with National Amusements, Inc. ("NAI"), the controlling stockholder of the Company, to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests of NAI (the "NAI Transaction") (together with the Skydance Merger, the "Skydance Transactions"). The Skydance transactions were subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and which closed on 7 August 2025.”
- “On 27 February 2026, Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ("WBD") announced a definitive merger agreement (the "WBD Merger Agreement") under which Paramount will acquire WBD (the "WBD Merger"). The closing of the WBD Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances. The closing of the WBD Merger has been delayed as a result of a lawsuit, with the parties agreeing to postpone closing until the earlier of five days following the court's ruling or, if necessary, 1 June 2027.”
