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 | 2020-04-30 | 2021-04-30 | 2022-04-30 | 2023-04-30 | 2024-04-30 | 2025-04-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | — | — | — | — | -10.7% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | — | — | 0.0% | 0.0% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | — | — | — | 685.16x |
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.

- 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 charity'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
- “During the financial year ended 30 April 2025, a substantial donation was received from the Company's chairman for the purpose of financing a Community hub, with the intention that this project would meet another of the Charity's main objectives.”
- “Kinfauns Stables RDA received a Royal visit on 6th October 2016 when HRH The Princess Royal officially opened the riding arena at an event attended by riders, parents, carers, volunteers along with other invited guests.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
