Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 29.4% | — | |
| Net margin | 35.1% | — | |
| Return on capital employed | 21.2% | -82.9% | |
| Current ratio | 3.60x | 0.56x | |
| Interest cover | 82.85x | -70.60x |
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 directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”

Significant events
- “The company reached financial close on a student accommodation project in July 2024 which is a significant factor of the decrease in revenue in 2025.”
- “Whilst no projects reached financial close in 2025 the company was selected as preferred bidder on several projects in early 2026 and the directors are confident that these will reach financial close and generate income in 2026.”
- “After the reporting end date but before the date of approval of these financial statements the company issued £7.1m of ordinary share capital to fund an investment of the same value in a student accommodation project. In addition to this the company issued £3.0m of ordinary share capital to fund its day to day working capital requirements.”
