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 | 2022-01-01 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-01-01 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | — | — | -112.5% | |
| Net margin | — | — | — | — | 7.2% | |
| Return on capital employed | — | -115.2% | — | -100.5% | -46.3% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | 2.10x | 2.97x | |
| Interest cover | — | -281.60x | — | -273.68x | — |
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.

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Company remains part of the Zurich Insurance Group Ltd group and has benefited from the support of the group in recent years, particularly in the form of capital contributions, which in the current year alone totalled £2.8m to ensure the Company remained in a net asset position of £10.5m with cash balances of £2.1m at the year end. The Group has committed formal financial support to the Company if required to ensure that the Company is able to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing.”
Significant events
