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

“The director has considered the forecasts of the business for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements and considers it to be a going concern.”
Significant events
- “On 29 November 2023, the UK government issued final legislation to reform the current system of creative industry tax credits to merge the four existing tax reliefs (Filnı, High-End Television ('HETV'), Children's Television and Animation) into a single mechanism of Audio-Visual Expenditure Credits ('AVEC') and has reviewed the qualifying criteria. The legislation was substantively enacted on 21 February 2024. The new mechanism is one of expenditure credits as opposed to corporate tax relief, requiring a change to the accounting treatment to include them within statutory operating profit rather than within the consolidated tax charge.”
- “The Company has elected to claim the new AVEC for all qualifying expenditure incurred from 1 January 2024 as opposed to claiming under the previous HETV tax credit.”
- “At the year end, the total cost of the programme was in excess of the budgeted costs, but the group has continued to finance the production.”
