Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2022-05-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | — | -114.5% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 91.0% | 105.8% | |
| Current ratio | — | 0.18x | 0.10x | |
| Interest cover | — | -4.45x | -2.33x |
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.

- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On 13 March 2024, the company underwent a group reorganisation including a capital reduction, dividend-in-specie, and re-designation/consolidation of shares.”
