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

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-03-31 vs 2024-03-31

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 2024-03-312025-03-31
Return on capital employed 5.7%2.6%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 99.7%98.1%
Current ratio 81.29x54.53x
Interest cover 0.97x0.93x

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.

Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors have made an assessment of going concern, taking into account both current performance and the Company's outlook which considered the impact of macroeconomic uncertainties, and in particular the impact of the cost of living crisis, potential trade restrictions and tariff increases and strained economic relations between the US, China, Europe and other countries and the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza on reducing (but still high) global inflation, energy prices and interest rates. As part of the assessment of going concern the directors made enquiries and reviewed forecasts for the Company including considering the recoverability of the outstanding loan investments, undrawn funding commitments and investment repayments made, and the directors believe there are no material uncertainties that lead to significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue in business over the next 12 months at least. As a result of this assessment, the directors consider that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
