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

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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 2024-03-312025-03-31
Return on capital employed -9.2%6.3%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 100.0%100.0%
Current ratio 122.02x105.42x

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.”
