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

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.

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the period end the company had a deficit of £4,934,030. The deficit is funded by loans from other group companies which will not be called for repayment unless cash flow permits for a minimum period of 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. The directors consider with parent company support that it is appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “In October 2023, intellectual property and trademarks of Missguided were sold to a third party and the principal activity of fashion clothing retailing ceased from this date.”
• “All activities are now discontinued following the cessation of trade after the sale of the intellectual property and trademarks of Missguided in October 2023.”
• “During the previous year Intellectual Property was sold for consideration of £26.5 million, resulting in a profit on disposal which was credited to the statement of comprehensive income during the period. In the current period an additional gain of £1.25m was recognised when assignment of control of the underlying Intellectual Property was successfully completed.”
• “There is further potential consideration receivable of £0.25m contingent on certain conditions being met. At 27 April 2025, conditions for recognition had not been met and therefore this is disclosed as a contingent asset.”
