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.

Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the Company and Group's cash flows for the forthcoming period of 12 months from the signing date of the financial statements and long-term projections thereof. While the Group has net current liabilities the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company have adequate resources to meet liabilities as they fall due and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and at least for a period of twelve months from the date of signing of these accounts. This is on the basis that much of the current liability balance is deferred income and intergroup balances which will not require a cash repayment. The Company has a letter of support in place with Surrey County Cricket Club which confirms that the ultimate parent company will provide sufficient financial support in order for the company to meet its obligations for the twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements. A detailed review of SCCC's cash flows for the forthcoming period of twelve months from the signing date of the financial statements confirms that there is sufficient cash within the Group to provide any required financial support if it was to be required. On the basis of their evaluation, the directors believe the going concern assumption to be appropriate”

Significant events

• “In January 2025, the ECB auctioned 49% of each of the eight Hundred franchises. The ownership of the remaining 51% of each franchise has been transferred during the year ended 31 January 2026 to the current host of that franchise such that Surrey County Cricket Club owns the majority equity stake in the company, renamed from the Oval Invincibles to MI London. On the execution of this transfer a long-term venue hire agreement was signed between the MI London (MIL Ltd) and the Company from which the Group will derive long-term economic benefit from the commercial activities associated with hosting matches at the Kia Oval of the Hundred team.”
