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

| Interest cover | — | — | 0.20x | — | 0.34x | -7.55x | 287.59x |
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.

- Affirmed
“In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024, the Board is required to consider whether the Company and Group can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Board has concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis, having undertaken a rigorous assessment of the financial forecasts, key uncertainties, and sensitivities, as set out below. Accounting standards require that 'the foreseeable future' for going concern assessment covers a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, although those standards do not specify how far beyond twelve months a Board should consider. In its going concern assessment, the Board has considered the period from the date of approval of these financial statements to 31 December 2025 which is more than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements ('the going concern period').”

Significant events
- “Vince DeLuca was appointed CEO in June 2024.”
- “Since the year end 04375903 Limited, a fixed asset investment, has been dissolved and a new company, 6DG US Inc, has been incorporated in Delaware, USA.”
- “As part of its ongoing review of its property portfolio, the Company has been successful in sub-letting a significant part of the lease on its main head office space in London, which it exited in the year, to an external tenant.”
- “In May 2024, the announcement was made that a second, and final, phase of offshoring and redundancies would occur in Q2 FY25. Management now believe that the internal structure of the Group is best placed to deliver its ambitious plans and have confirmed that no further extensive redundancy programmes are planned.”
- “Linked to its review of intercompany loans and subsequent capitalisation of these balances in the current financial year, the group has undertaken a capital reduction exercise to further simplify these balances and ensure that the individual company balance sheets within the group are free from unnecessary distraction.”
