Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group and parent company loan is due for refinance on 30 September 2027, and the investors have only confirmed their intention to support the Group until 30 June 2027. As stated in note 2.3, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | -194.0% | |
| Return on capital employed | -38.3% | — | -19.1% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 173.3% | 71.1% | |
| Current ratio | 0.12x | 0.06x | 0.08x | |
| Interest cover | -2.63x | -1.54x | -3.30x |
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.
