Material uncertainty over going concern
The company does not have sufficient income, based on our current revenue and expenditures, and is therefore dependent upon DBSD North America, Inc and EchoStar Corporation for future funding. At present neither DBSD North America nor EchoStar Corporation have provided a formal commitment to support the company. It is currently unclear if EchoStar Corporation will have committed financing to fund their operations for at least twelve months from the issuance of their 31 December 2025 consolidated financial statements, and therefore substantial doubt exists about our and our parent's ability to continue as a going concern.
