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 | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | -9.2% | 6.3% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 100.0% | 100.0% | |
| Current ratio | 122.02x | 105.42x |
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
“The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis on the grounds that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment, the Directors have taken account of the level of funds accumulated in the Legacy Fund that can be used to meet the Company's operating costs, were there to be any shortfall in the timing and level of future returns and have concluded that adequate cover is available to meet future operating costs of the Company for the foreseeable future. In this regard, the realisation phase of the funds is expected to continue until at least 31 December 2026.”

Significant events
- “Economic conditions over the past 2-3 years have not been conducive to realising value from the portfolios, with the ongoing impact of instability in Ukraine and the Middle East and high levels of inflation and elevated interest rates having a dampening effect on transaction levels globally.”
- “Looking forward, the directors believe that whilst geopolitical risks remain, inflation is now being brought under control, central banks are actively looking at interest rate reductions and there are some positive signs of renewed business confidence, especially in key digital sectors.”
