Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-01-31 | 2025-01-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 2.0% | 6.7% | |
| Current ratio | 50.97x | 14.92x |
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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “The year 2024/25 has seen a development of SAMS / CMS mission work with mission partners very much involved.”
- “There have been 11 indigenous leaders who have completed year-long training programmes with many others equipped through shorter trainings, all of whom are continuing to serve in their local contexts.”
- “A highlight from the year was the Indigenous Mission Congress near Temuco in October 2024 focussing on evangelism, discipleship and formation.”
- “This year SAMS / CMS has supported a one year development plan which has led to a new three year plan for the coming years focused on developing Community, Communication, Catalysing and Cultivating of pioneers and pioneer ministries.”
- “The principal activity of the society continues to be overseas mission work through 15 mission partner units.”

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
