Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2025
1. General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is c/o Altitude Film Distribution Ltd, Somerset House, Strand, London, WC2R 1LA, England.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. In making this assessment, the directors have considered forecasts and cash flow projections for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Further details of the directors' assessment, including a material uncertainty relating to the support of the Company's parent entity, as relating to the ongoing renegotiation of the parent entity's loan financing, are set out in note 4.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant judgements The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows: - Amortisation of film assets held Key sources of estimation uncertainty Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows: - Provisions for doubtful debts The recoverability and valuation of debtors involves an element of uncertainty. All debtors are considered fully recoverable to the value recognised as at 31 March 2025.
Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. Sales commission income is recognised on a net basis, representing the correct sales commission portions of that collected, per signed sales agency agreement applied to the collected income per third party collection statements, and is recognised when quantifiable and known to be flowing to the company. Income on producer fees and similar fees is recognised when such becomes contractually due and is quantifiable and locked.
Income tax
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the profit and loss account.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets relate to the acquisition of film rights. Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Film investments - by reference to total projected turnover from exploitation of film rights, expected as 33.3% in year 1, and 16.7% in each of years 2-5
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Where the carrying value of an intangible asset is considered to be in excess of its future net contribution, the asset is amortised to reduce its carrying value to the level of the future net contribution.
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in equity in respect of that asset. Where a a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in equity in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship (see hedge accounting policy). Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
4. Material uncertainty related to going concern
The company continues to have the support of its parent entity, Altitude Film Entertainment Limited, in being able to meet liabilities as they fall due. However, the parent entity's existing shareholder loan facilities are now overdue. They are in discussions with its lender to extend the facilities.
The directors have prepared forecasts and cash flow projections for over 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts assume that the Company will continue to have access to continued support from the parent entity in not calling in the balances due from the Company other than as cashflow reasonably permits.
At the date of approval of these financial statements, revised financing arrangements for the parent entity had not been legally completed. The directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis because it is expected that financing will continue to be available to the supportive parent entity.
However, the successful completion of the parent entity financing arrangements is not within the Company's control. If the revised facilities are not agreed, the Company may no longer be able to rely on the support of the parent entity in not calling in balances due, and may need to obtain alternative finance or take further mitigating actions. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be required if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
5. Employee numbers
The average number of persons employed by the company during the year amounted to nil (2024: nil).
Employees are contracted through the parent company Altitude Film Entertainment Limited and the associated costs recharged to the company.

11. Summary audit opinion
The auditor's report dated 19 June 2026 was unqualified.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 4 in the financial statements, which describes the Company's support position from its parent entity. As stated in note 4, while the company has the support of its parent entity, the parent has not legally completed its revised financing arrangements at the date of approval of the financial statements, indicating that a material uncertainty exists which 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.
The senior statutory auditor was Terrence Bourne , for and on behalf of Moore Kingston Smith LLP .
