Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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 2019-12-312020-12-312023-12-312024-12-31
Net margin -69.6%
Return on capital employed -16.5%-147.1%-5.4%-1.8%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 2.3%2.1%
Current ratio 43.88x48.44x

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
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern, which reflects the expectation that the Company may eventually wind down its operations following the withdrawal of its licence from the Financial Conduct Authority. The directors intend to reassess the future of the entity, including the possibility of winding down its operations, following the withdrawal of its FCA license, which was completed in 2025. As a result, the directors do not consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. No material adjustments are required to the financial statements as a result of them being prepared on this basis.”
