Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 1.1(c) to the financial statements, which indicates that the group and company incurred a net loss of $11,239,893 and $2,195,085 respectively during the year ended 31 December 2024. As stated in Note 1.1(c), these events or conditions, along with other matters set out in Note 1.1(c), indicate that material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern.

| Interest cover | — | — | -34.57x | -42.51x | -27.41x |
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.
