Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-08-31 | 2024-08-31 | 2025-08-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | 2.3% | — | 152.4% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 16.2% | 13.9% | |
| Current ratio | 3.07x | 3.92x | 4.49x |
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.

- “TKCL had a very difficult year financially... led to a deficit of £50,016 (2024: profit of £46,284).”
- “Construction began in April 2026 with an anticipated 18 month build and we therefore expect to open the hub in 2027-28.”

- “In April 2026 an Agreement for Lease was signed by Kingsgrove Community Hub on the land to build The Hub in Wantage. This is a 125-year lease, at £nil cost and peppercorn rent. Works started on site under a Letter of Intent (pending signing of the full construction contract, expected in mid-2026). This is a commitment of £355,000, which is fully funded by donations already received and held as cash by Kingsgrove Community Hub.”
