Material uncertainty over going concern
Notwithstanding the Directors' expectation that the announced restructuring will complete successfully following shareholder approval at the General Meeting, the completion of the restructuring remains subject to the relevant conditions precedent, principally shareholder approval and Admission. In addition, the Company remains dependent upon continued gas production and ongoing compliance with the covenants under its amended financing arrangements. These matters represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-09-30 | 2024-09-30 | 2025-09-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | 25.3% | -21.1% | 17.9% | |
| Net margin | — | -21.3% | 11.0% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 164.8% | 178.7% | 179.1% | |
| Current ratio | 0.26x | 0.32x | 0.23x | |
| Interest cover | 4.43x | -1.83x | 1.09x |
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.
