- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which incorporate certain plausible downside scenarios as a result of under performance of the new IP retail stores. The forecasts indicate that the Company will have sufficient funding to continue to trade and settle its liabilities as they fall due for the going concern period. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company announced an intention to integrate with its sister company Bandai UK Limited. The purpose of the combination of the two companies is to further strengthen the growing IP division of the Group. The integration is expected to occur on 1 August 2025.”

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
