Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | 57.7% | 34.6% | |
| Net margin | — | 82.4% | -35.2% | |
| Return on capital employed | 3.0% | 1.6% | 1.5% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 93.6% | 97.5% | |
| Current ratio | 19.46x | 7.79x | 7.90x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | 0.41x |
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.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “The units completed acceptance on 31 March 2025 and have generated revenue of £16,576k (2024: £10,926k) with corresponding cost of sales of £10,022k (2024: £4,139k) as a result of the depreciation charges being incurred. Liquidated damages of £591k (2024: £6,240k) from Hitachi have been received during the year due to unit deliveries being behind schedule compared to the contract.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
