Material uncertainty over going concern
Even though the Company has made a profit of GBP£222,387 for the year ended 31 December 2024, as of that date the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by GBP£970,582. The Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of its shareholder without which there would be significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern as well as its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate beneficial owner has indicated his intention to continue providing such financial assistance to the Company to enable it to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they fall due.

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 | 2020-09-30 | 2021-12-31 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | 4.2% | -18.6% | 9.7% | |
| Net margin | — | — | -1.8% | -20.3% | 5.1% | |
| Return on capital employed | -2.7% | -4.7% | 0.3% | -3.9% | 10.3% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | — | 109.2% | 85.2% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | 7.96x | 0.38x | |
| Interest cover | -1.01x | -1.25x | 0.09x | -1.14x | 0.56x |
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.
