Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | 197.4% | |

| Return on capital employed | -24.9% | -786.8% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 67.9% | 121.4% | 106.1% | |
| Current ratio | 2.42x | 0.22x | 0.20x | |
| Interest cover | -6.10x | -10.19x | 3.39x |
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.

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, on 27 February 2026, the Company entered into binding agreements providing for the disposal of its interests in Pills AcquisitionCo SCI and Pills DevCo SCI, the transfer of intragroup receivables and the senior secured bank debt.”
- “The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions precedent in France, including completion formalities and administrative approvals, and had not completed as at the date of approval of these financial statements. The conciliation protocol was approved by judgment of the Paris Commercial Court on 14 April 2026.”
- “As a result, as at 31 December 2025, the carrying value of the investment property and the outstanding bank debt have been adjusted to €19.5 million, while each shareholder loan has been measured at €1. These agreements support the Directors' assessment that the Group had no realistic alternative at the reporting date but to proceed with an orderly disposal and restructuring process.”
- “In addition, the Company issued additional shares to Life Sciences (UK) Holdings II Limited. In total, 13,293 ordinary shares were issued between January and April 2026 at a nominal value of £100 per share, representing an aggregate capital increase of €1,516,922.”
