Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2022-08-31 | 2023-08-31 | 2024-08-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | 17.2% | 196.5% | — | |
| Current ratio | — | 94.72x | 37.95x |
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.

- “At the reporting date, the charity had entered into contractual commitments totalling £225,860 in relation to the construction of the Equine Hospital. These commitments are expected to be settled within the next financial year and will be funded by a combination of restricted funds and designated reserves that have been set aside by the trustees for this purpose.”
- “We received an incredibly generous gift of £350,000 from Fund 4 Habitats at the end of 2022 and another gift of £150,000 in July 2024 to help with the costs of furnishing the hospital with vital veterinary and surgery equipment.”
