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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2019-12-31 | 2020-12-31 | 2021-12-31 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | — | — | 53.1% | -25.8% | |
| Return on capital employed | — | — | — | — | 2.8% | -35.6% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | — | 3.60x | 0.17x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | — | — | 0.63x | -0.29x |
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.

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Director, along with senior management, has assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment has considered the Company's current financial position, recent developments, and forecasts for the twelve-month period from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on this assessment, the Director has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 4 April 2025, a settlement agreement between the prior director and ultimate beneficial owner, Mr L Kirschel and its senior lender was signed. This agreement marked a significant milestone in the Company's post-year-end restructuring and resolved a number of outstanding matters.”
- “As part of the restructuring, the majority equity ownership and full control of the Company has been transferred to AB Carval.”
- “On 12 June 2025, a letter was provided by the senior lender confirming that in its role as majority shareholder there is no current intention for repayment of amounts outstanding under the Facility Agreement to be sought, or for support to be withdrawn from the Company for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
- “As evidence of this support, working capital facilities are to be provided to the Company, and the maturity of the Facility Agreement has been extended by two years to 1 December 2027.”
- “During the year, there was a breach of the loan-to-property portfolio value ratio and the debt yield covenants. The impact of this breach and the senior lender's response are detailed in note 25 - Events after the reporting date.”
