Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -66.6% | -77.4% | — | |
| Net margin | -86.8% | -100.0% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 197.5% | 225.7% | — | |
| Current ratio | 0.08x | 0.03x | 0.03x | |
| Interest cover | -3.28x | -3.42x | -5.67x |
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.

- Affirmed
“The Directors have assessed the company's financial position and, based on expected rental income and the ongoing support of the wider group, have concluded that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate. A financing entity within the group has committed to providing additional funding if required, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The directors consider this to be sufficient to support the business if required. The directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare accounts on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the year, the Company ceased its food and beverage sales while the shop underwent a full refurbishment.”
