Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | — | -7.6% | -3.0% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 0.4% | 0.6% | 0.3% | |
| Current ratio | 52.89x | 8.33x | 7.45x | |
| Interest cover | — | -11.77x | -4.72x |
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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Trustees are aware that there are likely to continue to be challenges due to the aftereffects of the Coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing war in the Ukraine. The Trustees are continually monitoring the situation and keep in regular communication with their advisors and investment manager.”
- “In connection with the acquisition and subsequent lease of the Woodpeckers property during the period, the Trust entered into a funding agreement with the lessee, Imago Dei, to finance essential renovation and refurbishment works. The Trust initially committed to a maximum budget of £150,000, which was increased to £170,000 before the year end due to unforeseen costs, and was subsequently increased again to a total project cost of £200,000 following a post year end agreement as detailed in note 27.”
