Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1.2 in the accounting policies section of the financial statements which indicates that the Company relies upon the successful implementation of its new business strategy and requires the support of directors' loans to meet its current liabilities.. As stated in note 1.2, these conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 | 2018-12-31 | 2019-12-31 | 2020-12-31 | 2021-12-31 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | — | — | — | -69.6% | -181.1% | |
| Net margin | — | — | — | — | — | — | 35.1% | |
| Return on capital employed | — | — | — | — | — | -10.6% | -12.9% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | — | — | — | 19.0% | 21.4% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | — | — | 0.29x | 0.10x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | — | — | — | -240.39x | -449.71x |
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.

Significant events
- “During the 2024 financial year, Startup Giants PLC ("the Company") implemented a significant strategic realignment. transitioning from a publicly listed vehicle on the Aquis Growth Market to a private plc model. This move was driven by the limitations imposed by the listing structure in terms of investment flexibility and strategic execution.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
