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 | 2021-01-05 | 2022-01-31 | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | — | — | — | -125.3% | -124.3% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | — | 12.4% | 22.5% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | 7.96x | 4.38x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | — | -90667.94x | -4584.27x |
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.

“The directors have prepared detailed, sensitised financial projections modelling both the core business of the company and its forecast growth. The company's core business is profitable and cash generating. The directors have, however, elected to take an accelerated growth strategy, supported by its shareholders. In so doing, it is likely that the company will seek additional equity funding in the next 12 months. The directors are confident that this will be achieved but having also modelled a less aggressive growth model also have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to meet its debts as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they believe it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2024, the company achieved significant growth, with revenues increasing by 155% to £2.22 million (2023: £0.87 million). This growth was driven by a combination of new customer acquisitions and expansions within existing customer accounts.”
- “Looking ahead, the company plans to continue its investment in development of new product features, for example, by building decarbonisation scenario planning capabilities. The company also aims to continue growing it's international customer base, particularly in the United States.”
