Ratios

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

Ratio Trend 2020-12-312021-12-312023-12-312024-12-312025-12-31
Operating margin -193.1%-114.8%-194.3%-112.3%-89.0%
Return on capital employed -25.9%-18.8%-18.3%-18.4%-13.1%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 198.8%227.3%
Current ratio 0.19x0.21x0.84x
Interest cover -1.47x-0.93x-1.00x-0.71x-0.60x

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
Affirmed

“The directors have prepared a detailed business plan and rolling cash flow forecasts. The company (as part of the new Freedom Truespeed Group) has the support of its new investor, Infrabridge, which has committed to fund the company through to cash breakeven. On this basis the directors have concluded that the company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and hence it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.”
