- Affirmed
“The directors have made inquiries of the ultimate parent company, Viasat, Inc., and it has confirmed in writing it has sufficient financial resources, that it will make available, to enable the Company to continue its normal operating activities as a going concern and to meet its financial obligations as they fall due and that they have the financial ability to support the Company for at least 12 months after the date of approval of the 31 March 2025 financial statements of the Company. In addition, the Company's business forecast for the next 12 months confirms that the Company will remain a going concern.”
Significant events
- “This year saw the benefits of the restructuring plan implemented in 2023 feed through into the statutory accounts for the full year. We made a profit of £1,901k compared to a loss of £2,836k in 2024, and this turnaround was achieved through focussing on our advanced encryption products.”

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
