- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Group's and Company's activities including its finances are ultimately supported by its ultimate parent company, Fandom, Inc.. Without the support from Fandom, Inc., the Group and the Company may not have finances required to meet its obligations. The Company has received a letter of support from Fandom, Inc. confirming it will continue to provide the Group and the Company with finance as required to meet its obligations for the period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. On the basis of their assessment of the Group's and Company's financial position and of the confirmations received from the directors of Fandom, Inc., the Company's director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Group's and the Company's financial statements. 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 Group's or the Parent 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.”

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
