Material uncertainty over going concern
While the directors have assessed the potential impact of the proposed transaction based on the information currently available, they are unable to reliably forecast the Company's future profitability, cash flows and sources of financial support in a post-transaction environment because key aspects of the future structure of the business have not yet been determined. Accordingly, the directors have concluded that the uncertainty arising from the proposed transaction constitutes a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 98.4% | — | — | |
| Current ratio | — | 1.84x | 1.32x | |
| Interest cover | 0.02x | — | — |
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.
