Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-04-30 vs 2024-04-30

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 2020-04-302021-04-302022-04-302024-04-302025-04-30
Operating margin -83.6%-46.1%
Net margin -189.8%-80.9%-37.3%
Return on capital employed -72.8%-62.3%-1693.5%-71.2%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 93.7%45.5%
Current ratio 0.99x2.07x
Interest cover -57.55x

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 believe that the group's sales growth trajectory, its cash levels and its ability to control its operating costs put it in a good position to manage its business risks successfully. This, together with detailed forecasts prepared by the directors, have demonstrated that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
