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 2019-12-312020-12-312021-12-312022-12-312023-12-312024-12-31
Return on capital employed -54.8%-64.2%
Current ratio 3.84x2.62x
Interest cover -58243.77x

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.

Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future given cash balances at the balance sheet date were 2,810,738. In determining this, the directors have prepared financial forecasts for a period of not less than twelve months following approval of the financial statements for various scenarios. The directors are executing strategies to preserve the existing structure through external investment, should they prove unsuccessful cost savings can be achieved to reduce losses, guarantee operational integrity & preserve cash beyond twelve months following approval of the financial statements. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
