Current ratio 42.71x29.37x29.45x

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.

Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“Based on the above, the Company relies on its ultimate parent company for financial support, which is not guaranteed. Additionally, the Company's property serves as security for its Immediate Parent Company's loan. If the Immediate Parent Company is unable to continue as a going concern or comply with the terms of the loan agreement, its lenders may seek to exercise their rights in the loan agreement over the Company's property. As a result, this indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Notwithstanding this material uncertainty on the going concern assumption, the Directors are confident that given the Group's track record, the Group and the Ultimate Parent Company's debt falling due for repayment in the going concern period, will be refinanced or settled in line with plans, rather than requiring repayment on maturity, or will be extinguished as part of property disposals in the period - and consequently, the Ultimate Parent Company will be able to provide the required support to the Company. The Directors also believe that the Parent Company's debt will be repaid and therefore, the Company's property will be released from acting as security to the Parent Company's loan. Therefore, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these Company financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be required if the financial statements were prepared on a basis other than going concern.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
