Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | -277.7% | -16.0% | -425.3% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 77.6% | 82.7% | |
| Current ratio | 2.33x | 9.29x | 1.53x |
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.

“After making enquiries, the directors have reasonable expectations that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Based on this review, no material uncertainties that would require disclosure have been identified in relation to the ability of the Company to remain a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
