Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that additional funding is required to be raised to ensure the Group can remain operational and meet its obligations as they fall due throughout the period of 12 months from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. While the Directors conclude that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to access sufficient funds there can be no certainty over this. As stated in note 1, these events or conditions along with the other matters, as set forth in note 1, 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. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -192.7% | — | — | |

| Return on capital employed | -26.7% | -26.5% | -35.2% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 19.8% | 10.9% | 39.5% | |
| Current ratio | 6.34x | 5.94x | 1.90x | |
| Interest cover | -22.54x | — | -26.02x |
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.
