INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LIFT ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of The Lift Entertainment Limited (the 'Company') for the period ended 31 December 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).
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 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.
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.
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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LIFT ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The director is 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 Director's Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Director's Report has 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 Director's Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LIFT ENTERTAINMENT 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 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:
∙We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the Company, and sector in which they operate. In addition, we concluded that there are certain significant laws and regulations that may have an effect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements such as: Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ('United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice') Companies Act 2006 and taxations laws.
∙We understood how the Company are complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks through discussions with management and those charged with governance.
∙We assessed the susceptibility of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
−identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
−understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
−challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
−identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations; and
−assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement item.
Our procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in response to the assessment risks of material misstatement due to fraud included:
∙Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations;
∙Performing a detailed review of the Company's year-end adjustments entries;
∙Enquiries being made of management with regard to actual and potential litigation and claims;

THE LIFT ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LIFT ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED (CONTINUED)
∙Obtaining and reviewing minutes of Board minutes, evidence of legal fees incurred, and any correspondence with HMRC, for indicators of possible fraud and non-compliance;
∙Carrying out substantive testing testing of journal entries to assess whether they are appropriate, and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business;
∙Performing a detailed review of key accounting estimates, and assessing whether the judgements made in arriving at the accounting estimates and indicative of potential bias; and
∙We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indicators of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error and detecting irregularities that result from fraud is inherently more difficult tan detecting those that result from error, as fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional misrepresentations.
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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Non-basic financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Other debt instruments not meeting conditions of being 'basic' financial instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Company has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.

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.
