Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors have concluded that the circumstances set forth above indicate the existence of material uncertainty, which may cast doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore, that may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, they believe that taken as a whole, the factors described above make it probable that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.

Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 | 2026-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current ratio | 0.04x | 0.03x | 0.04x | |
| Interest cover | -29.47x | -46.97x | — |
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.
