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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company does not have sufficient income, based on our current revenue and expenditures, and is therefore dependent upon DBSD and EchoStar for future funding. After making enquiries, the director has a reasonable expectation that DBSD and EchoStar will provide the company with adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the year end, on 10 January 2024, DISH Network Corporation ("DISH Network") distributed its equity interest in DBSD North America, Inc. ("DBSD") and its subsidiaries to EchoStar Corporation ("EchoStar"), thereby removing itself from DBSD's ownership structure, making EchoStar the ultimate parent company.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
