Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

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

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have considered the impact of potential developments on the future viability of the Company, its financial position and liquidity together with financial projections for the Company over the foreseeable future and continue to take all available steps to maintain sufficient resources in order that the business can continue. The board continues to reverse stress test on the Company. The purpose of the reverse stress test on the Company is to assess at what point the cash reserve would be fully utilised if the assumptions in the budget are altered. The reverse stress test assumes significant adjustments to the Company's cash flows forecast which include delays to the mitigation programme, delays in shareholder funding, operational incidents (including increased mitigation activity), loss of key staff and loss of key suppliers. Should an adverse event occur, the organisation has an adequate business continuity policy to alleviate the impact on the business. The results of the organisation's reverse stress test demonstrate that Digital Mobile Spectrum has sufficient cash reserves to deliver the mitigation and Shared Rural Network programmes. Digital Mobile Spectrum did not have any borrowings at the period end. In the most extreme case, additional funding would be requested from the organisation's shareholders as specified in the Articles of Association. Consequently the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
