Material uncertainty over going concern
Based on the above, the directors believe it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, the circumstances described indicate there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Current ratio | 9.99x | 10.69x | 3.46x | |
| Interest cover | -37.31x | -59.16x | -33.33x |
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.
