Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-03-31 vs 2023-03-31

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 2018-03-312019-03-312020-03-312021-03-312023-03-312024-03-31
Return on capital employed 32.2%-102.0%-184.0%-225.2%
Gearing (liabilities / total assets) 19.7%28.1%
Current ratio 4.03x2.82x
Interest cover -1291.11x-2222.26x

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.

Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company has incurred a net loss of £3,550,790 during the year and at the balance sheet date, the company had net current asset of £1,149,809 (2023: £1,043,252) and overall net asset of £1,611,061 (2023: £1,400,851). The company relies on the continued financial support from its ultimate parent entity, Quantum Financial Holdings Limited (together the "Group"). The Group finances its operations through cash generated from trading and ongoing shareholder support. The directors have secured £10.1m of funding, comprising £2.1m contracted and awaiting completion and £8m pledged by an existing shareholder. A further £4.0m of additional funding has also been secured, of which £1.0m has been received, with the balance scheduled for payment in September and October 2025. While the Group does not currently hold sufficient cleared cash balances to support the company to remove a material uncertainty in respect of going concern, the directors have sufficient visibility over the committed funding pipeline to support the Group's operations and strategic plans. Accordingly, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue trading, and the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. We draw attention to note 1.2 in the financial statements which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
