Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 |
|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -113.9% | |
| Current ratio | 0.03x | |
| Interest cover | -1.15x |
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.

“The company has net liabilities of £3.72m and net current liabilities of £4.74m. Forecasts have been prepared that show the company is able to operate for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have also made enquiries with the directors of the immediate parent undertaking, Grid Holdco 1 Limited, with regards to the repayment of the loan the company has with it. As detailed in note 12, the loan is repayable on demand of the lender. The directors understand that this will not be called unless the company has the ability to make the repayment. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
