Material uncertainty over going concern
However, the group and company remain reliant on the continuation of intra-group trading arrangements and the ongoing support of the wider group, including support historically provided by the ultimate controlling party. Should these arrangements or support not continue, the group and company may be unable to meet their liabilities as they fall due. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the group's and company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2022-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | -42.8% | — | 14.6% | |
| Net margin | -43.5% | — | 14.4% | |
| Return on capital employed | -67.9% | -947.0% | 14.1% | |
| Current ratio | 3.74x | 1.44x | 4.76x |
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.
