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 | 2022-03-31 | 2023-03-31 | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -15.3% | -12.1% | 2.8% | — | |

| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | 243.8% | 101.0% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | 0.40x | 0.98x | |
| Interest cover | -4.07x | -6.96x | 0.24x | 9.79x |
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.

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“As a result of the above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as the fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The parent undertaking has confirmed it will continue to support the company for 12 months from signing the audit report. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
