  Material uncertainty over going concern

  The directors note that given the level of economic uncertainty both within the image licensing industry and more broadly in the global economy there is the potential for larger negative effects on the company than can be reasonably expected as at the date of the accounts. Should the company be subject to greater than expected market declines and volatility then the company may not have sufficient resources to be able to continue in the normal course of business and thus may require changes to its business plan and structure.

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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.
