STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 January 2025.
During the year, the Group underwent a restructuring as part of its strategic realignment. ER Productions Trading Group Limited became the new parent company of the existing ER Productions Holdings Group and its subsidiaries through a share-for-share exchange. Following this reorganisation, consolidation has been discontinued within ER Productions Holdings Limited, which now operates solely as a holding company within the Group.
The company reported a profit before tax of £2.9 million for the year, compared with £1.6 million in the prior year. The results primarily reflect dividend income received from its subsidiaries, consistent with its ongoing role as a holding company.
The group's principal risk relates to the status of the entertainment industry and the demand for tours. In addition the group are subject to the fluctating foreign exhchange rates. The directors of the group continually monitor these risks.
The key perfomance indicator used by the group is that of EBITDA along with turnover.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

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;

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 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.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £2,903,840 (2024 - £1,583,138).
During the year dividends were voted to directors amounting to £2,957,617 (2024 - £1,586,622).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ER PRODUCTIONS HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of ER Productions Holdings Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 January 2025, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the 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).
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ER PRODUCTIONS HOLDINGS LIMITED (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 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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ER PRODUCTIONS HOLDINGS LIMITED (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 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:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with law and regulations, was as follows: • The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; • We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussion with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector; • The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, are as follows; o Companies Act 2006 o FRS102 o Health and Safety legislation o Employment legislation o Tax legislation • We assessed the compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management, reviewing board minutes, inspecting certificates of compliance and inspecting legal correspondence; and • Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and during the audit as any further laws and regulation were identified. The audit team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by: • Making enquires of management as to where they consider there was susceptibility to fraud and their knowledge of actual suspected and alleged fraud; • Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; • Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation; • Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies; • Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions; • Assessing whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates were indicative of management bias; and • Investigating the rationale behind significant transactions, or transactions that are unusual or outside the company’s usual course of business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ER PRODUCTIONS HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The areas that we identified as being susceptible to misstatement through fraud were:
• Management bias in the estimates and judgements made; • Management override of controls; • Revenue recognition; and • Posting of unusual journals or transactions. 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.
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.
