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 | -0.6% | -0.5% | -0.7% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 103.7% | 94.1% | 97.0% | |
| Current ratio | 0.46x | 0.29x | 0.17x | |
| Interest cover | -0.37x | -0.32x | -0.43x |
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.

“As at 31 December 2025 the Company's net assets at the year-end was £8,534k (2024: net assets of £17,299k). The directors have reviewed detailed business plans and cash flow projections to 31 December 2027 and believe that the company has sufficient cash resources to cover both working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The directors consider this to be sufficient to support the business if required. The directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare accounts on a going concern basis.”
