- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the company's ability to continue to operate as a going concern the directors have considered the cash position of the company, the recoverability of intercompany balances and the future operations of the company. As such, the directors have reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approving these financial statements. 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.”
Significant events
- “The continued investment in the redevelopment and animation production of the Thomas & Friends brand is performed at Mattel Inc., (ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party) which is key to the continued success of the Company.”
- “The Amendments to FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland Periodic Review which are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026 have not been early adopted by the Company. The Company is still assessing the impact of these amendments for future periods.”
- “The directors have considered all events and circumstances up to the date of signing these financial statements and there are no such subsequent events that require disclosure recognising the nature of this entity.”
