- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. The Group and Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing their financial statements.”
Significant events
- “A highlight of the year was completing the integration of WeCool Toys Inc, into the Group's systems and processes in the first half of 2025.”
- “The WeCool earnout element of consideration was paid in full in the second half of the financial year.”
- “During the year the Group made its second grant of incentive awards to staff, allowing staff to participate in the Group's projected growth and success through the Employee Benefit Trust.”
- “During the year the Group also repurchased 6.725m shares from former employees for a total consideration of £6.8m.”

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
