Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-05-31 | 2024-05-31 | 2025-11-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | -129.2% | -122.1% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 5.9% | 19.9% | 103.0% | |
| Current ratio | 13.41x | 4.08x | 0.77x |
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 directors have prepared cash flow forecasts covering the period to September 2027, following which, they accordingly believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Following successful fundraising post year end, and with revenues due to be delivered from the commissioned ITV drama 'Mavis Eccleston' during 2027, the directors consider that there are sufficient levels of working capital and cash to meet the Company's liabilities as they fall due for the next 12 months.”
