Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company is in a net liability and a net current liability position as at 31 December 2024. However, after ensuring that financial, operational and liquidity forecasting updates are maintained and reviewed, and receiving a written commitment from the ultimate parent company, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, that it will provide all necessary financial support to the Company for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, the directors have formed a judgement at the time of approving the financial statements that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Following the one-off customers migration costs incurred this year, the directors are also implementing steps to further improve the Company's operating profit. For this reason, they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing financial statements.”

Significant events

• “In September 2021, the Broadcast Centre facility experienced an outage due to the fire suppression equipment triggering. As at 31 December 2024 accrued insurance income of £2,591 kGBP has been recognised based upon a final proposal from the loss adjustor agreed during December. On 31 January 2025, the company received the final settlement from the insurer in connection to the Broadcast centre outage in September 2021 of £2,591k.”

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
