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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-02-28 | 2024-02-29 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -18.7% | -24.6% | |
| Net margin | 0.5% | 8.3% | |
| Current ratio | 1.02x | 1.04x |
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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 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
- “The company's key non-financial performance indicator to be whether the television programmes produced are certified as British. The ongoing productiors have been awarded the required certificates.”
- “CBS UK Productions Ltd. is committed to sustainability in the day-to-day operations of its television productions. For example, last year we based our high-end television production at Great Point Seren Studios in Wales, which has a conservation designation of SSSI. The electricity supplied to the Studios is 100% renewable, either directly from the wind turbine at Seren or, if there is no wind, from another of Ecotricity's wind turbine fleet.”
