Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | -18.4% | -9.6% | |
| Net margin | — | -46.8% | -77.2% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 234.6% | 245.2% | 248.7% | |
| Current ratio | 0.02x | 0.03x | 0.09x | |
| Interest cover | -10.20x | -0.54x | -0.14x |
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 Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The validity of this assumption depends upon the continued support of Science Group plc. To fund its continuing activity, the Company has received a letter of support from Science Group plc which evidences the intent of the parent to continue to provide financial support.”
Significant events
- “On 19 March 2025 the Group announced it had agreed new bank borrowing facilities with Lloyds Bank plc. The existing term loan with another Group company (Sagentia Limited) which was secured against the freehold properties in Harston, near Cambridge (owned by Quadro Harston Limited) and Epsom (owned by the Company) was replaced with new Lloyds Bank term loans with Quadro Harston Limited and Quadro Epsom Limited.”
- “As part of this refinancing, the Company agreed a new 20 year operating lease with Sagentia Limited for the freehold property owned by the Company.”
