Tin Roof Media is a diverse media group incorporating two TV production labels in Blink Films and Outline Productions. The Group brings together some of the most respected and talented people in the TV sector to produce award-winning factual programmes with a global reach.
During the year, the Group produced programmes for Netflix, Paramount+, Channel 4, Discovery and Channel 5 amongst others from offices in London and Wales. Creatively and operationally the Group is well positioned for the 2024 financial year, having shown resilience in spite of the disruption caused by a challenging year in the TV production sector. Revenue and gross margin is expected to grow in the next twelve months. The Group is consistently cash generative and expects to meet its liabilities as they fall due in the near future.
Like many companies in the industry, Tin Roof Media is exposed to a variety of commercial, financial and operational risks.
Management operates strong financial discipline on costs and robust internal controls are in place to minimise cost overruns and cover unforeseen events that may impact production schedules. Management regularly review key performance indicators such as revenue, gross profit, cash flow and contracted sales versus budgeted sales.
The Group uses the following key performance indicators to assess the performance and position of the company:
The Group continued to trade strongly and show a robust financial performance despite the challenges faced in the sector as a whole.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TIN ROOF MEDIA LTD
We have audited the financial statements of Tin Roof Media Ltd (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Company balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows, the Consolidated statement of changes in equity, the Company statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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 or the 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.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TIN ROOF MEDIA LTD (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group strategic report or the Directors' report.

TIN ROOF MEDIA LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TIN ROOF MEDIA LTD (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Group financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙ We considered our general commercial and sector experience and held a discussion with the Directors and other management personnel to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.
∙We determined that the laws and regulations which are directly relevant to the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework (Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 and the Companies Act 2006) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
∙We evaluated the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
∙In addition, there are other significant laws and regulations which may have an affect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements being those laws and regulations relating to environmental, occupational health and safety, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), fraud, bribery and corruption. For these laws and regulations, the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through fines or litigation being imposed. As required by the auditing standards, auditing procedures in respect of non-compliance with these identified laws and regulations are limited to enquiry of the Directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Actual or suspected non-compliance was not sufficiently significant to our audit to result in our response being identified as a key audit risk.
∙We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by meeting with a number of individuals, including with individuals outside of the finance function, and conducted interviews to understand where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to areas of estimate and judgement in the financial statements.
∙Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations and fraud risks identified in the paragraphs above. In addition to the audit procedures, we remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The specific audit procedures performed included:
°Review of Board minutes;
°Review of correspondence received from regulatory bodies;
°Review of large and unusual bank transactions;
°Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates, and identifying and testing journal entries;
°Review of legal and professional fee expenditure;
°Review of manual journal entires posted in he period including specific key word searches, related party transactions and large and unusual items.
There are inherent limitations of an audit. There is a higher risk that irregularities, including fraud, will not be

detected during the audit as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of non compliance with all laws and regulations and fraud lies with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Tin Roof Media Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 09736691. The registered office is Charles Ogilvie, Bankstock Building, 42-44 De Beauvoir Crescent, 2nd Floor, London, N1 5SB. The Group consists of Tin Roof Media Limited and its subsidiaries.
The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company for the Group. The principal activity of the Group during the year was that of the provision of TV production and distribution services.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1,000. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3). The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Tin Roof Media Ltd and its subsidiaries (i.e. entities that the Group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies to obtain economic benefits). Acquired subsidiaries are consolidated using the purchase method. Results are incorporated from the date that control passes. All financial statements are made up to 31 December 2023.
All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group entities are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the assets transferred. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group. These financial statements represent the largest and smallest group of which the Company is a member for which the Group accounts are prepared.
The Group has made a loss before tax for the year of £1,001,000 (2022 - profit before tax £425,000) and has a net liabilities of £2,812,000 (2022 - net liabilities of £1,823,000) at the balance sheet date. Included within net liabilities are cash reserves totalling £907,000 (2022 - £1,164,000). Within creditors falling due within one year are loan notes totalling £1,442,000 (2022 - £1,346,000). The loan note holders have confirmed that they will not seek repayment until such time that the Company has funds available to do so.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The directors have prepared detailed forecasts to 31 December 2024 and beyond, which show that the Group is committed to improving the balance sheet position year on year; in 2023 the consolidated results show a return to being loss making and reduction in Group revenues, affecting the profitability reducing cash generated in 2023. However, the Group has a strong reputation in the marketplace for producing high-quality content and the directors have no reason to believe that they will not continue to win new commissions. The forecast obtained suggests that the group will return to be profitable.
The directors are committed to ensuring that the Company continues to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and therefore consider it appropriate that these financial statements be prepared on the going concern basis..
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from customers, net of trade discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.
Production revenue comprises broadcaster license fees and other pre-sales receivable for work carried out in producing television programmes. To the extent that they meet the requirements of FRS102 certain customer-specific production contracts are reported using the percentage-of-completion method. In this method, revenues and gains on customer-specific contracts are recognised based on the stage of completion of the respective project concerned. The percentage of completion is calculated as the ratio of the contract costs incurred up until the end of the year to the total estimated project costs (cost-to-cost method). Irrespective of the extent to which a project has been completed, losses resulting from customer-specific contracts are immediately recognised in full in the year in which the loss is identified. Gross profit on production activity is recognised over the year of the production. Overspends on productions are recognised as they arise and underspends are recognised on completion of the productions. Distribution revenue includes sums receivable from all exploitation of programmes in which the Company owns rights and is recognised when all the following criteria have been met: i) an agreement has been executed by both parties ii) the programme is available for deliver; and iii) the arrangements are fixed and determinable. Revenue from the exploitation of programme rights is recognised when receivable. The associated costs are recognised in cost of sales at the same point.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
In most cases, when the Group is commissioned to make a programme by a broadcaster, the broadcaster pays a licence fee for the programme in their own territory and the Group retains the right to exploit the programme elsewhere.
Research expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. Development expenditure is written off in the same way unless the directors are satisfied as to the technical, commercial and financial viability of individual projects. In this situation, the expenditure is capitalised within other intangible assets and amortised.
Goodwill is capitalised and written off using the reducing balance method over 5 years as, in the opinion of the directors, this represents the period over which the goodwill is expected to give rise to economic benefits.
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.
Identifiable intangibles are those which can be sold separately or which arise from legal rights regardless of whether those rights are separable. The intangible assets are in respect of the customer relationships, brand and distribution catalogue acquired. Amortisation is recognised to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis: The above periods are considered reasonable based on past performance of the revenues associated with the brand and catalogue. Customer relationships are based on an expectation of how long past relationships last. Brands - Over 11 years straight line Distribution catalogue - Over 11 years straight line Customer relationships - Over 7 years straight line The Group has chosen not to recognise any separate intangible assets as part of the Outline acquisition which took place during the year as the future revenue streams arising from contractual relationships and the bank catalogue in place at the acquisition date were deemed by the directors to have an immaterial value on acquisition.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line and reducing balance method.
Depreciation is recognised to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company. Control is the power given to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity to obtain benefits from its activities.
At each reporting end date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial instruments and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11, 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments' of FRS 102 to all its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Basic financial assets Basic financial assets which include trade and other receivables, loans to fellow group companies and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the financial asset is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that, because of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and loans from fellow group companies that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Other financial liabilities Deferred consideration has been initially measured at amortised costs by discounting to present value. The unwinding of the discounted balance is charged to the profit or loss account. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the Company's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the Company.
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Group operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The amount charged to profit or loss is the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually payable are shown as either accruals or prepayments.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease asset are consumed. Rent free periods or other incentives received for entering into an operating lease are accounted for as a reduction to the expense and are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currency) are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translates at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate ruling at the date or the transaction, or, if the asset or liability is measured at fair value, the rate when that fair value was determined. All translation differences are taken to profit or loss, except to the extent that they relate to gains or losses on non-monetary items recognised in other comprehensive income, when the related translation gain or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income. Translation differences on the assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiaries are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Group but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current tax assets are recognised when tax paid exceeds the tax payable. Current and deferred tax is charged or credited to the profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited to other comprehensive income or equity, when the tax follows the transaction or event it relates to and is also charged or credited to other comprehensive income, or equity.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if and only if, there is a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and the entity intends either to settle on the net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from total comprehensive income because it includes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods. Current tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the Balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the Company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis. Provisions are charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the balance sheet date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.

Goodwill and the intangible assets identified and valued on the business combinations are deemed to be fully recoverable from future trading and the directors have deemed these assets to have appropriate useful economic lives. Useful economic life and impairment of tangible fixed assets Fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. Deferred tax asset The Company and Group have not recorded a deferred tax asset relating to the accumulated losses and other deductions of the Company as there is uncertainty as to when future profits will arise within the Company and the Group. Revenue recognition Management continually assess the projected total costs of each production. On the basis of these estimates, revenue is recognised. Where productions are in progress at the period end and where billing exceeds the value of the work done, the excess is classified as deferred income. Where billing is less than the value of work done, the excess is classified as accrued income.
