Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2022 → FY2023 · period ending 2023-12-31 vs 2022-12-31

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 2018-12-312019-12-312020-12-312021-12-312022-12-312023-12-31
Return on capital employed -11.7%-35.4%
Current ratio 56.39x27.22x
Interest cover -11.67x-1.65x

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

“The continuation of the Group as a going concern basis depends on the Group having access to sufficient resources to continue in business throughout the going concern period. The support of its shareholders and the Directors' belief in the ability of the Group to raise additional finance from the equity markets, have led it to continue to invest in the platform and business infrastructure to meet projected long-term forecasts, and not reduce costs beyond minimum levels required. It is clear, however, that the Group will need to conclude a fundraising within the next twelve months as positive cash-flow generation will not be achieved during the going concern period that and the Group, during this time, will not be able to service debt repayments out of operating cash flows when they fall due. As a result of the status of the proposed equity raise, the forecast revenues compared with cash outflows and the need for additional financing, there is a material uncertainty related to the ability of the Group and the Company to raise sufficient additional equity capital before liquidity is exhausted during the going concern review period.”
