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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the members have a reasonable expectation that the limited liability partnership has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the members continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The expectation arises due to continued support of the parent undertaking, Entertainment Partners UK HoldCo Limited, should the need for further financial support arise.”

Significant events
- “On 8 May 2025, a debt to equity conversion took place in respect of an interest bearing loan facility owed to the parent undertaking of £4.9m. The loan was converted to members' capital contributions, which resulted in the payable amount being reclassified from loans and other debts due to members within one year to members' other interests.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
