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 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | 40.5% | 3.4% | |
| Current ratio | 20.17x | 25.26x |
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.

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors do not operate a policy whereby they specifically withhold funds for a rainy day: they have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation and do not foresee any liquidity problems nor anything else that could affect its going concern.”
Significant events
- “2024 saw the introduction of a series of close encounter bird and animal activities which proved immensely popular throughout their first year.”
- “Through the course of the year our staff roster reflected a small number mid-year departures which were replaced and supplemented by recruiting a selection of experienced staff from a local zoo which was downsizing.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
