Going concern
Affirmed

“In assessing the company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern the directors have considered the recoverability of intercompany balances and the future operations of the company and have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. The Company has also sought and obtained a letter of support from its ultimate parent company, Mattel Inc. Consequently, the directors believe that for any reason should the Company be unable to meet its liabilities then Mattel Inc. will provide financial support to the Company in accordance with this letter such that the Company is able to operate as a going concern and to settle its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approving these financial statements. The company has assessed whether it can rely upon the letter of support and has no concern in that regard.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
