Borrowings are counted again inside the liabilities due within a year and after a year. Plant in use and plant being built are given for full years only. No balance sheet is on record for the year to Mar 2017, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.

Interest cover is left blank for the years to Mar 2017, Mar 2018 and Mar 2021: operating profit after depreciation is a loss, and a loss covers no interest bill. Debt to equity is left blank for the years to Mar 2018, Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023 and Mar 2024: net worth is below zero, so there is no shareholders' money to set the borrowings against. Return on capital employed is left blank for the years to Mar 2018, Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023 and Mar 2024: net worth and borrowings together come to nought or less, so there is no money employed to set the operating profit against. No balance sheet is on record for the year to Mar 2017, so its lines and the ratios worked from it are blank there.
