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 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | -155.1% | |
| Net margin | — | -132.7% | |
| Return on capital employed | -510.3% | 21.5% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 729.9% | 703.5% | |
| Current ratio | 0.35x | 0.23x | |
| Interest cover | 8.84x | -2.63x |
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.
Audit & accounting basis

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as heightened conflicts in the Middle East, continue to contribute to elevated levels of political instability and uncertainty worldwide. Fuel prices (gas, electricity and oil derived products) have fallen back from the particularly high levels seen in 2022, though they remain higher than pre-conflict levels.”
- “The loss for the financial year amounted to £0.5million (2023: £1.9million profit). The main driver for the loss was changes in estimates of future costs in environmental provision reviews year on year as detailed in note 5.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
