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 | 2024-04-30 | 2025-04-30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | -112.6% | -50.9% | |
| Current ratio | 8.05x | 9.62x | |
| Interest cover | -4.21x | -1.87x |
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
- “In July 2025, it was announced that Monzo, a leading digital bank with more than 12 million customers, is migrating its rapidly growing investment offering to Seccl. Following a smooth and successful technology integration, the first assets were placed on the Seccl-powered proposition in May. After a phased rollout to Monzo's customers, in July, all new investment accounts were powered by Seccl. The migration of Monzo's existing investor base from the previous provider is scheduled for September 2025.”
