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 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | -55.4% | -327.0% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 9.4% | 32.7% | |
| Current ratio | 4.76x | 2.49x |
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 financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. In October 2025, five of the thirteen existing shareholders contributed an additional $7.9m in new equity at a share price of $4.00 per share. An additional $0.7m in equity funding is contractually guaranteed in 2026. As a result, as at 31 December 2024, VAKT held cash reserves of just under $5m, with a total of $8.6m in committed equity funding. The directors have considered the future funding requirements of the business, and based on management forecasts, have concluded that the Group will have sufficient funds to ensure that it can meet its financial liabilities as and when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
