Ratios

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

Ratio Trend 2024-12-312025-12-31
Operating margin -106.8%
Return on capital employed -22.3%-9.8%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 111.3%133.0%
Current ratio 2.03x2.14x
Interest cover -2.95x-0.71x

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
Material uncertainty disclosed

“With that in mind, sensitivity analysis has been performed on ARPU change by 10%. The results demonstrate it would fall below the £10,000,000 minimum liquidity threshold required during the going concern period. This risk could be mitigated via liaising with the lenders (who are also the shareholders) to further drawdown the £20,000,000 of uncommitted funding potentially available under the SSFA or to agree a covenant relief or deferral event or even further funding, and as such management recognises this creates an inherent material uncertainty.”
