FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Introduction
 
The Directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Principal activity
The Company is engaged in the principal activity of publishing computer games.

Financial overview

Turnover for the year ended 30 June 2025 was £70.0 million an increase of 27.3% from the previous year (2024: £55.0 million.  The increase has been driven by the release of two new games in the year, Sniper Elite: Resistance in January 2025 and Atomfall in March 2025. Loss before tax was £2.5 million and increase of £2.1 million from the prior year (2024: loss of £0.4 million). The loss in the current year has been driven by exchange rate variances on its foreign currency assets and liabilities of £3.1 million.
Underlying performance of the Company after removing the impact of currency fluctuations has been profitable.
The Directors are satisfied with the performance for the year.

Strategy

The Company’s strategy is to build upon its successful business as the lead publisher within a growing developer/publisher group and to continue to build on its strengths in IP creation and game development. The Company will continue to publish titles on systems and platforms where there is a business case to be made, and will continue to strengthen ongoing partnerships with key partners in hardware, software and digital distribution in the games and creative industries worldwide. The Company’s portfolio strategy helps spread business risk over a number of separate projects and formats.
The Company is an essential component in delivering the Group’s strategy within the Games Division.

Turnover

Overall sales increased by 27.3% from the previous year due following the release of two games in the year.

Gross profit

Gross profit has decreased 39% due to a higher proportion of distribution and selling costs when compared to the prior year.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks which result from both its operating and investment activities. The Board is responsible for coordinating the Company's risk management and focuses on maintaining a strong working capital position to achieve its strategic objectives.
The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets and has no financial derivatives. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below:

Credit risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of any allowance for doubtful debts, estimated by the Directors. The Company transacts mainly with large highly rated international companies who have a strong record for the prompt payment of liabilities.

Cash flow risk

The Company seeks to manage risks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably.

Currency risk

The Company seeks to balance the cash flows in the major currencies using an element of natural hedging with receipts and payments being matched in the same currency and therefore minimising the exposure to currency risk. The Company also monitors currency fluctuations and manages its GBP cash holding to always ensure it has sufficient funds to meet day to day trading requirements.

Games industry risk

As with any industry there are inherent risks. In the games industry and with games development specifically, the risks are often related to publisher control, technology advancement and quality of product. The Company has sought to reduce these risks by successfully transitioning to a games publisher in its own right and has developed important relationships directly with the key platform holders. In terms of technology the Company has invested heavily in its own technology and games engine, continually pushing the boundaries of the technology and seeking technological advancements through its research & development activities. The use of its own games engine also mitigates any middleware risk and the reliance on third parties for its tools. Quality of product is extremely important to the Company. To reduce risks in this area the Company undertakes extensive quality assurance of its games and sets realistic release schedules to ensure games only reach the marketplace when ready.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Going Concern
 
The Group’s banking facilities secured in July 2021 are subject to certain financial covenants. This funding was provided to refinance existing property mortgages, acquire a new property and provide new funding to support its investment programme. The Group continues to invest significantly in all strategically key areas of the business on the back of its cash generation and its banking facility. This facility was renewed in February 2025 and currently expires in July 2026.
 
The level of revenue, cash generated by the Group and compliance of financial covenants remains geared towards the timing of game releases.
 
The Group has prepared forecasts and projections, considering current cash resources and available funding to cover future expected trading. These forecasts support the conclusion of the Directors that the Group is a going concern. The banking facilities include an option to extend the facilities for 12 months and the Group expects to exercise its option and extend or renew the facilities to at least July 2027. In the improbable scenario where the facilities were not renewed, the Group would have various options available to ensure it could meet any liabilities as they fall due e.g., obtaining alternative debt funding, undertaking revenue optimisation via promotional activity, improvements to operational efficiency, sale of non-core assets and other measures. These measures would enable the Group to have adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future, for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
 
The Company, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
The Directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis due to the commitment by the ultimate parent company, Rebellion Groupd Ltd, to provide any necessary financial support required to enable the Company to discharge its liabilities, and therefore continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements.


Section 172 (1) Statement
The Directors acknowledge their duty under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 and consider that they have, both individually and together acted in the way that, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Company and for the benefits of its members as a whole. In doing so, they have had regard to (amongst other matters) to:
•    The likely consequences of any decision in the long term
The Company’s long-term strategic objectives, including progress made during the year and principal risks to these objectives, are stated above.
•    The interests of the Company's employees
The Company does not have any employees who are remunerated. Employees are employed in other Group companies. 
•    The way we engage with the Group's shareholder
The Board considers that its ultimate parent, Rebellion Group Limited, to be the key stakeholder of the Company and is focused on long-term value for their benefit. The Company shares its published results, monthly management accounts and various other key financial and non-financial reports to help the parent inform its group strategy and communicate with its partners.

•    The need to foster the Group's business relationships with suppliers, customers and otherss

The Board continues to build ongoing partnerships with key partners in hardware, software and digital distribution in the games and creative industries worldwide. It also leverages relationships with suppliers through its membership of the Group.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025


•    The impact of the Group's operations on the community and the environment

The Company operates with honesty and transparently. It seeks to minimise adverse impacts on the environment from its activities, while continuing to address health, safety and economic issues. The ultimate parent’s Streamlines Energy and Carbon Reporting (‘SECR’) report provides more details. The Company has complied with all applicable legislation and regulations.

•    The desirability of the Group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct

The Company strives to behave in a responsible manner, operating to a high standard of business conduct and good corporate governance.

•    The need to act fairly as between members of the Company

The Company’s duty is to behave responsibly towards its shareholders and treat then fairly and equally, so that they will be able to benefit from the successful delivery of the Company’s strategic objectives.
 

Other key performance indicators
 
The Company considers the other key performance indicator as critical to the business to be the success of games released. This is monitored through sales activity and feedback from users including games critics. The Directors consider the Company to have a high success rate of releasing high quality games.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 for the Company's financial statements and then 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 to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF  REBELLION INTERACTIVE LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of  Rebellion Interactive Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 30 June 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 30 June 2025 and of its loss for the 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 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.


Conclusions relating to going concern


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 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.


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 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 Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; 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.


Responsibilities of Directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 7, 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 the Directors 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF  REBELLION INTERACTIVE LIMITED (CONTINUED)


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.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
The specific procedures for this engagement that we designed and performed to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud, were as follows:
 
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and               claims;
• Reviewing minutes of Group meetings of those charged with governance;
• Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance               with applicable laws and regulations;
• Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal                entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant                  transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.


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 Auditor's 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 2006Our 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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Going concern

The Group’s banking facilities secured in July 2021 are subject to certain financial covenants. This funding was provided to refinance existing property mortgages, acquire a new property and provide new funding to support its investment programme. The Group continues to invest significantly in all strategically key areas of the business on the back of its cash generation and its banking facility. This facility was renewed in February 2025 and currently expires in July 2026.
 
The level of revenue, cash generated by the Group and compliance of financial covenants remains geared towards the timing of game releases.
 
The Group has prepared forecasts and projections, considering current cash resources and available funding to cover future expected trading. These forecasts support the conclusion of the Directors that the Group is a going concern. The banking facilities include an option to extend the facilities for 12 months and the Group expects to exercise its option and extend or renew the facilities to at least July 2027. In the improbable scenario where the facilities were not renewed, the Group would have various options available to ensure it could meet any liabilities as they fall due e.g., obtaining alternative debt funding, undertaking revenue optimisation via promotional activity, improvements to operational efficiency, sale of non-core assets and other measures. These measures would enable the Group to have adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future, for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
 
The Company, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
The Directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis due to the commitment by the ultimate parent company, Rebellion Group Ltd, to provide any necessary financial support required to enable the Company to discharge its liabilities, and therefore continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements.

 
2.4

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
The Company's policy is to recognise revenue in respect of its performance when, and to the extent that, it obtains the right to the consideration. The guiding principle in this assessment is to consider the stage of completion of the contractual obligations and to the extent to which the Company has obtained the right to the consideration.
When the Company is exposed to the significant risks and rewards associated with the selling price it accounts for turnover as a principal and associated commission payable is accounted for as a direct cost within cost of sales. 
 
Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of games is recognised at the point at which the game is delivered. The Company makes provision against returns or price protection.
Royalties from distributors
The Company recognised royalty payments received or accrued from external distributors under licence of the right to distribute games in certain territories. Where advance payments against royalties are received under licence, in so far as the Company's obligations have been fulfilled, such advances are recognised at the point at which they become non refundable.

Royalties from licence agreements
The Company receives revenue where the Company agrees to make a game available to a third-party platform for their customers to download for an agreed period of time. The Directors do not consider there to be any material ongoing obligations once the license is granted to the customer. Revenue is, therefore, recognised on the date performance obligations stated within contractual agreements are met.
The Company also receives revenue where the Company develops games for external customers. Revenue from such agreements is recognised on a stage of completion basis.

 
2.6

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.


 
2.7

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.9

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.10

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.11

Financial instruments

The Company has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Statement of Financial Position when the Company 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 debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. 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. 

Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.11
Financial instruments (continued)

If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

Basic 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 Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Derecognition of financial instruments

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with FRS 102 requires management to make judgements and estimates that affect the amounts of the reported assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses each period. Management believes that the judgements and estimates employed in preparing these financial statements are reasonable but the actual results may differ from the estimates made, requiring adjustments to the financial statements in future periods. The areas where the most significant judgements and estimates arise are described below.
Revenue
In applying FRS 102, the Company makes a judgement on whether certain revenue contracts grant the rights to customers to obtain all the benefits in relation to specified performance obligations on the date the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company does not consider there to be ongoing, material obligations once the stated performance obligation is satisfied and, therefore, recognises revenue relating to these contracts in line with stated contractual terms at the point the risks and rewards transfer to the customer, being when the obligation is achieved. 
When the Company is exposed to the significant risks and rewards associated with the selling price it accounts for turnover as a principal and associated commission payable is accounted for as a direct cost within cost of sales.
Stage of completion
The Company uses the percentage of completion method to determine the recognition of revenue on long-term service contracts. The percentage of completion method depends on an accurate assessment of the costs to complete the contract. These assessments are made by personnel who have adequate and sufficient knowledge of the contracts as appropriate. The nature of the estimations means that actual outcomes may differ from those made in forecasts and budgets. If the outcome of a contract is that contract costs which exceed total contract revenue, the estimated loss is recognised immediately. 
Recoverabilty of amounts owed by group undertakings
The Company considers amounts owed by group undertakings annually and estimates the provision for bad debts. In determining this, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to the likelihood of monies being recovered based on the plans of the Group.
