- 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.”
Significant events
- “On 30 April 2024, an intercompany payable from the Company to John Wiley & Sons Limited of £5m was derecognised and recognised as a capital contribution in the accounts of the Company.”
- “On 31 May 2024, the M Three Group was sold by the Wiley Group. As a result, John Wiley & Sons Inc is no longer the consolidating parent company.”
- “In advance of the sale, all intercompany balances between M Three and the Wiley group were settled or written off.”

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
