Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-09-30 | 2025-09-30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 5.3% | 0.9% | |
| Current ratio | 0.03x | 1.43x |
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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board of Directors and the Investment Manager believe that the operational viability and going concern status of the Company remains intact and will continue for the next financial 12 months ahead and foreseeable future. The Board of Directors has no concerns in regard to the ongoing existence of the Company.”
Significant events
- “During the period, the Company benefited from a significant liquidity event following the sale of Visibility Blockchain Limited (t/a Getvisibility) from Fund I to US-based Forcepoint. The transaction delivered a 4.4x cash multiple and resulted in a €1.77m distribution to the Company in April 2025.”
- “The Landvault position was sold in July 2024 to Infinite Reality in an all-share transaction. While a liquidity opportunity has not yet materialised, this position remains a potentially transformative event for Fund I.”
- “On 14 July 2025, the company has made direct investment into MySafeDrive Limited (trading as Cameramatics) amounting to €200,000.”
- “The Company had anticipated a major liquidity event to occur during 2025 through a tender offer of Infinite Reality shares, however based on recent reports this event is no longer expected to materialise.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
