“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. Furthermore the Company has a letter of support from its Ultimate Parent Company, Cisco Systems Inc., stating if and when required, funding will be made available so the Company can fulfil its obligations.”
Significant events
- “The principal activity of the company is the provision of limited support to another UK group company by way of leased office space. The lease was surrendered at the lease end date 24 June 2025, Following the surrender of the lease, the company continues to operate on an ongoing basis.”
- “For the period ended 26 July 2025 the Company released provision for dilapidation charges £9,120,181 (2024: nil).”
- “The Company's principal activity ceased towards the end of the financial year and it now only receives interest on its cash pool balance, therefore not exposed to significant credit or foreign exchange risk.”
