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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Having taken into account the continued financial performance experienced to date, together with forecast revenues, the company's ongoing operational expenditure, and the likely capital additions and likely capital repayments, the company's directors have concluded that it is appropriate that these financial statements are prepared and presented using the going concern principle.”
Significant events
- “During the year to 30th September 2025, the Company's turnover increased to £6,302,366 (2024: £Nil) due to the funding nature of the company's principal, external development project. Pixel Toys continued to develop a major as-yet-unannounced title for a third-party publisher for which it received revenue on a cost plus basis since April 2025.”
- “Since Jan 1st 2024 the company has claimed Video Games Expenditure Credit (VGEC) which is shown in the P&L as other income, from which there is a notional tax provision (cost) of 25%.”
- “During 2025/26 the Company will continue to provide client development services, working alongside its US-based investor and publishing partner. The progress to date in the current year has been satisfactory and the directors expect this to continue.”
