Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 | 2025-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -95.0% | -91.8% | — | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 1.6% | 2.2% | 5.9% | |
| Current ratio | 13.95x | 8.62x | 2.54x | |
| Interest cover | — | -21.73x | -23.30x |
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.

- Unqualified (clean)
- 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
- “Following the refusal of planning permission by PCC in October 2025, the Society undertook a comprehensive restructuring process informed by a strategic review of the charity's operations. A new planning application will be progressed for the site.”
- “Following the refusal of planning permission by Peterborough City Council, the Society determined not to pursue an appeal on the grounds that the proposed Section 106 agreement rendered the scheme unviable. The statutory period for lodging an appeal expired in May 2026 and, accordingly, the planning application promoted by AEPG lapsed with no further right of appeal available at this time.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
