Material uncertainty over going concern
Having completed the orderly wind-down of the Company and with no intention or regulatory ability to recommence business, the Directors have concluded there is no realistic alternative to discontinuation. As such, the going concern basis of accounting is not appropriate.

Ratios

| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -75.4% | — | |
| Net margin | -99.3% | — | |
| Return on capital employed | -532.4% | -276.7% | |
| Current ratio | 1.35x | 1.34x | |
| Interest cover | -95.00x | -78.01x |
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.
