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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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 group's and parent 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.”

- “the Group Board decided to sell 90% of the company to the Employee Ownership Trust. This transaction was completed in October 2024.”
- “Globally, 20 people joined and 22 people left.”
- “Two members of the senior team represented us at SXSW 2024 events in Austin, TX. We also secured two further opportunities for SXSW 2025 in Austin, TX as well as planned participation in SXSW 2025 in London.”
