Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
             
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law) including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” Section 1A (Small Entities). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
-select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
                 
Disclosure of Information to Auditor
Each persons who are directors at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
In so far as the directors are aware:
-there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the company's auditor in connection with preparing the auditor's report) of which the company's auditor is unaware, and
-the directors have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.
     
Auditors
Sage & Company Business Advisors Limited resigned as auditors during the financial year and the directors appointed Hugh McCarthy and Associates, (Chartered Accountants), to fill the vacancy.
     
Special provisions relating to small companies
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
to the Shareholders of Creative Capture Services Limited

 
Report on the audit of the financial statements
 
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Creative Capture Services Limited ('the company') for the financial year ended 30 April 2024 which comprise the Abridged Income Statement, the Abridged Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies set out in note . The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable Law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” Section 1A (Small Entities).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 April 2024 and of its loss for the financial year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
 
Basis for opinion
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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and the Provisions Available for Audits of Small Entities, in the circumstances set out in Note 5 to the financial statements, 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.
 
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 4 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company is insolvent due to losses made in recent years. As stated in note 4, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 4, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
 
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate given that they do not contain adjustments that would result if the company was unable to continue as a going concern and that there is suffiicient support given to the company by its ultimate parent company, Cinesite Media Holdings Limited.
 
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
 
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's 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.
 
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
 
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the Directors' Report.
 
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption in preparing the Directors' Report.
 
Responsibilities of directors for the financial statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
 
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 Auditor's 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 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:
 
Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to completeness of income, management override of journal adjustments and recoverability of intercompany debtors, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. 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 completeness of income, management override of journal adjustments and recoverability of intercompany debtors. Audit procedures performed included:

- All of the systems and information systems of the company was documented in full at the planning stage of the audit with a specific focus on the sales and income aspects of the system.
- Based on documentation of systems and information systems, walk through testing, control testing and detailed initial analytical review risk was formally assessed in relation to completeness of income.
- Review and assessment of significant journal entries during the year.
- Review of trading results and projections of companies with intercompany balance to assess recoverability.
- Discussions with Management

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion
 
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is contained in the appendix to this report, located at page , which is to be read as an integral part of our report.
 
Use of our 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 auditor's 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.

APPENDIX TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Further information regarding the scope of our responsibilities as auditor
 
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
 
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
 
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control.
 
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
 
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditor's Report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditor's Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
 
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
 
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Creative Capture Services Limited
NOTES TO THE ABRIDGED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 30 April 2024

   
1. General Information
 
Creative Capture Services Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and registered in the United Kingdom. The registered number of the company is 10725675. The registered office of the company is 10 Little Portland Street, London, W1W 7JG, United Kingdom which is also the principal place of business of the company. The principal activity of the company continued to be that of the provision of specialist motion and performance capture services. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the company.
         
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the company's financial statements.
 
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the company for the financial year ended 30 April 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A (Small Entities) and the Companies Act 2006.
 
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
 
Turnover
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the group in respect of the production activities during the year, exclusive of value added tax. Where a contract is not completed at the year end, the amount of revenue recognised in the current year is based on the percentage of completion of the project, recognised on a cost to complete basis. Overspends are recognised as soon as they arise.

Revenue from sales commission from fellow subsidiaries is for the use of the Cinesite Brand, use of the established long-term relationships and to cover the cost of management's time on supporting subsidiary sales during the year. Sales commission is usually charged at 5% of sales.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
 
Intangible assets
 
Development Cost
Development Cost are valued at cost less accumulated amortisation.
 
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost in equal annual instalments over their estimated useful life of 5 years.
 
Software
Software are valued at cost less accumulated amortisation.

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost in equal annual instalments over their estimated useful life of 3 years.
 
Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
 
  Computer & IT Equipment - 20% Straight line
  Fixtures and equipment - 10% Straight line
 
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
 
Leasing and hire purchases
Tangible fixed assets held under leasing and hire purchase arrangements which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the group are capitalised and included in the Statement of Financial Position at their cost or valuation, less depreciation. The corresponding commitments are recorded as liabilities. Payments in respect of these obligations are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements, with interest charged to the Income Statement.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease, unless the rentla payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation. In which case, the gourp recognises annual rent expense equal to amounts owed to the lessor.
 
Financial assets
Financial assets held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for any permanent diminution in value. Income from other investments together with any related tax credit is recognised in the Income Statement in the financial year in which it is receivable.
 
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
 
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs relating to the acquisition of assets are capitalised at the appropriate rate by adding them to the cost of assets being acquired. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on the assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
 
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the same value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
 
Trade and other creditors
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
 
Employee benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The company also operates a defined benefit pension scheme for its employees providing benefits based on final pensionable pay. The assets of this scheme are also held separately from those of the company, being invested with pension fund managers.
 
Taxation and deferred taxation
Current tax represents the amount expected to be paid or recovered in respect of taxable profits for the financial year and is calculated using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the Statement of Financial Position 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 have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future. Timing differences are temporary differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements. Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are anticipated to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date.
 
Government grants
Capital grants received and receivable are treated as deferred income and amortised to the Income Statement annually over the useful economic life of the asset to which it relates. Revenue grants are credited to the Income Statement when received.
 
Foreign currencies
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end dated.
Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
 
Research and development
In the research phase of an internal project, it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research and development shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight line basis over their useful economic lives, which range from 3 to 6 years.

If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phsae of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.
 
Share capital of the company
 
Ordinary share capital
The ordinary share capital of the company is presented as equity.
 
Preference share capital
The dividend rights of the preference shares are non-cumulative and payment is at the discretion of the company. The preference shares carry voting rights at meetings. Based on their characteristics the preference shares are considered to be presented as equity and not liabilities. There is no option to redeem the preference shares.
 
Change in accounting estimate
During the year the directors reviewed the basis for capitalizing property plant and equipment to the fixed asset register and decided that all property plant and equipment with a value lower than £1,500 will be expensed to the profit and loss account. The fixed asset register was reviewed and historically capitalized assets with a cost of less than £1,500 were written off. This resulted in a charge of £53,358 to the profit and loss account.
   
3. Significant accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
 
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies, amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

Judgements and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates, will by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

(a) Establishing useful economic lives for depreciation purposes of property, plant and equipment
Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment, comprise a significant portion of total assets. The annual depreciation charge depends primarily  on the estimated lives of each type of assets and estimates of residual values. The group regularly review these asset lives and charge them as necessary to reflect current thinking on remaining lives in light of prospective economic utilisation and physical condition of the assets concerned. Charges in asset lives can have a significant impact on depreciation and amortisation charges for the period. Detail of the useful lives is included in the accounting policies.  

(b) Providing for doubtful debts
The Company makes an estimate of the recoverability value of trade and other debtors. The Company uses estimates based on historical experiences in determining the level of debts, which the Company believes will not be collected. These estimates include such factors as the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. Any significant reduction in the level of customers that default on payments or other significant improvements that resulted in a reduction in the level of bad debt provision would have a positive impact on the operating results. The level of provisioning required is reviewed on an on-going basis.  
  
(c) Recognition of contract income
Determining when to recognise revenues under the percentage of completion method requires significant judgement in determining estimated costs to complete.

(d) Capitalisation of internally developed Computer Generated Assets
Distinguishing the research and development phases of a new customised project and determining the recognition requirements for the capitalisation of development costs are met requires judgement. After capitalisation, management monitors whether the recognition requirements continue to be met and whether there are any indicators that capitalised costs may be impaired.

(e) Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilised. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of nay legal or economic limited or uncertainties in various jurisdictions in which the group operates.

(f) Impact of non-financial assets and goodwill
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amounts of each asset or cash generating unit based on expected future cashflows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
   
4. Going concern
 
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that with the continued support of the ultimate parent company, Cinesite Media Holdings Limited, the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern  basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
