Annual accounts overdue

-
Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
As the Company ceased trading in January 2024, and the directors do not intend to acquire a replacement trade, the directors do not believe that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. There are no other assets or liabilities recognisable as a consequence of not preparing these financial statements on a going concern basis. Therefore, no adjustments are necessary to the amounts included in these financial statements.

Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | 183.5% | — | |
| Current ratio | 2.75x | 2.97x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.
