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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2022-03-31 | 2023-03-31 | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | 84.1% | 51.2% | |
| Net margin | — | — | 77.1% | — | |
| Return on capital employed | — | — | 4.7% | 2.9% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | 1.50x | 2.81x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | 2.31x | 1.56x |
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.

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have obtained a letter of support from Advance Northumberland Limited confirming that support will be provided as required to allow the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of signing of these accounts. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual Financial Statements.”
Significant events
- “The company continued to perform strongly, with tangible improvements to income recovery and compliance processes. In-house resources and skills have been further bolstered, facilitating continued financial efficiency improvements and provision of services to the wider Group.”
- “Overall lettings performance has also been strong, with timescales for tenancies being secured on available properties falling for a consecutive year. Occupancy levels fell slightly during the year due to a strategic decision to reduce refurbishment expenditure in Q3 and Q4.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
