Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 6.1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the ability of the company to operate as a going concern is linked with the ability of the company and its subsidiaries (together the group) to continue to operate as a going concern. The group incurred a loss of $49,181k for the year ended 31 December 2025 and, as of that date, the group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $58,147k. As stated in note 6.1, the directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis by placing reliance on the group to meet its future forecast financial performance. The margin of facilities in place over requirements is not large. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 6.1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern.

| Interest cover | -2.70x | -1.25x | -3.64x |
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.
