Accounts not prepared on a going-concern basis
Since the start of the Managed Wind Down in July 2021, the Directors do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. On this basis, the Directors have prepared the VCT's financial statements on a basis other than going concern.

Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-09-30 | 2025-03-31 | 2026-03-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -143.1% | -126.0% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 31.8% | — | — | |
| Current ratio | 3.15x | 3.15x | 2.38x |
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.
