Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | -99.8% | — | |
| Net margin | — | -97.5% | — | |
| Return on capital employed | — | -32.4% | -18.4% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 2444.2% | 30.1% | 2.5% | |
| Current ratio | 0.06x | 3.32x | 25.04x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | -8.03x |
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.

Significant events
- “On 13 March 2026, the Company made an additional cash investment of £250,000 into its investee company, Alludium Ltd, as part of a wider £1 million funding round. This transaction increases the Company's equity stake in Alludium from approximately 13.8% to 16.1%, based on a pre-money valuation of £9 million”
- “On 19 March 2026, Alludium Ltd, secured its first paying customers following the public-commercial launch of its no-code Al Agent Operating System on 10 March 2026. This is a non-adjusting event that indicates positive commercial progress for the investee, the financial impact of which cannot be reliably estimated at this stage.”
- “On 22 May 2026, the Company entered into an Extension Agreement regarding the Convertible Loan Note (CLN) receivable from Klarian. Klarian will repay £699,160 in principal and fees by 1 July 2026, with an additional fee of 3% per month accruing on any outstanding balance until settled. Complete recovery by the due date remains uncertain”
