Ratios

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

Ratio Trend 2022-12-312023-12-312024-12-31
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 85.0%124.7%195.9%
Current ratio 0.04x0.03x0.02x
Interest cover -9.85x-54.85x-60.62x

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
Material uncertainty disclosed

“There can, however, be no certainty that the SSF maturity is successfully extended to beyond the forecast period or that if the forecasts are not substantially achieved, additional financial support from the shareholder is made available. In that unlikely scenario, there can be no certainty of alternative sources of financing being found, and this represents a material uncertainty over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.”
