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 | 2019-03-31 | 2020-03-31 | 2021-03-31 | 2022-03-31 | 2023-03-31 | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operating margin | — | — | — | — | — | -9.6% | -51.0% | |
| Net margin | — | — | — | — | — | -85.7% | — | |
| Return on capital employed | — | — | — | — | — | 5.8% | 5.5% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | — | — | — | 165.5% | 173.5% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | — | — | 0.31x | 0.35x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | — | — | — | -0.14x | -0.14x |
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.

- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts and have assessed that the operating cashflows generated, together with the financial support outlined above is adequate to ensure that the group will meet their liabilities as and when they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date from which these accounts were approved. On this basis the directors are of the opinion that the financial statements should be drawn up on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “The year ended 31st March 2025 represented another challenging period for the Group reflecting continued higher interest rates as well as significant economic uncertainty driven by events both in the UK and overseas.”
- “Notwithstanding this during the year under review and in the period since the balance sheet date the Group has submitted an unprecedented number of planning applications to local authorities in the South-East of England.”
- “Against this backdrop and whilst the objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework introduced by the Labour Government are perhaps taking longer than anticipated to work through the planning system the directors are confident that the next twelve months will see a significant return on the investment that has been made over a number of years.”
