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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“As at 31 December 2024, the company has been in a net asset and a net current asset position. After ensuring that financial, operational and liquidity forecasting updates are maintained and reviewed on an ongoing basis, and receiving an undertaking 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. For this reason, they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There were no material or significant events that occurred in the period from 31 December 2024 to the date of reporting that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.”
