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 | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 20.3% | — | |
| Net margin | 57.2% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 98.0% | 101.3% | |
| Current ratio | 0.13x | 1.36x | |
| Interest cover | 0.29x | -0.94x |
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.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Notwithstanding the loss for the year and the net liabilities position, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. ... Based on the forecasts, stress testing and the availability of group support, the Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The shares in the company, which were previously owned by SMBC Leasing (UK) Limited, were transferred to a new company, Mithras Rail Holdings Limited, via a share for share exchange on 14 March 2024.”
- “During the year, the directors reassessed the accounting for interest-free loans advanced to LLPs. Historically, fair value was determined on the assumption that LLP distributions would repay the original loan amount shortly after partner payments commenced. However, following IFRS 9 guidance, external technical advice, and alignment with LLP cash-flow expectations, the repayment horizon should have been reassessed as significantly longer and has been extended from 5 years to 20 years.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
