Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-09-30 | 2025-09-30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | — | 141.0% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 0.5% | 0.9% | |
| Current ratio | 2.00x | 1.81x |
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 Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Foundation to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Trustees conclude that there are no material uncertainties about the Foundation's ability to continue and accordingly the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”
