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

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.

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Key roles including Operations Manager, Linkshouse Manager and Gallery Technician, remained vacant throughout 2024/25 with the extra workload absorbed by other staff. In addition, the key strategic staff post of Learning and Engagement Manger fell-vacant in the year and has remained so since.”
• “Creative Scotland confirmed that the Pier Arts Centre would continue to receive core funding as one of a portfolio of institutions to receive Multi-Year Funding (2025/26-2027/28).”
• “Reduction in carbon emissions continued in collaboration with Creative Climate Scotland and in line with the Pier Arts Centre's Environmental Sustainability Policy. The Board and staff recognise the critical nature of the climate emergency and the importance of taking individual and collective responsibility alongside positive action.”
