Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 400.2% | 416.1% | |
| Current ratio | 0.20x | 0.21x | |
| Interest cover | -34.38x | -45.08x |
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 Company has net liabilities at the Balance sheet date of $18,030k (2023: $16,759k).

The Directors have obtained confirmation from a fellow group undertaking that it will provide the necessary support to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they fall due. This confirmation is valid from the date of approval of the financial statements through to 30 September 2026.
