Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Ratios

Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

Ratio Trend 2020-12-312021-12-312022-12-312023-12-312024-12-31
Net margin 0.0%0.0%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 99.9%99.9%
Current ratio 12.97x14.29x

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.

Going concern
Affirmed

“At 31 December 2024, the company had net assets of £100 (2023 - £100). The company's parent undertaking has confirmed its intention to continue to arrange funding for the company, if necessary, to enable it both to meet its liabilities as they fall due and to carry on its business without a significant curtailment of operations. Accordingly these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
