| Ratio | Trend | 2024-03-31 | 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -124.7% | -13.5% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 46.2% | 83.3% | |
| Current ratio | 1.95x | 1.12x |
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.
Audit & accounting basis

- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- James Mathieson, Lindeyer Francis Ferguson Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have relevant expectations that the company has relevant resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “A major milestone was the change in government, following the July 2024 General Election. While the incoming administration has expressed broad support for the creative industries, concrete commitments on cultural investment remain uncertain, pending the outcome of a forthcoming comprehensive Spending Review.”
- “the social and political climate has been shaped by a series of summer riots across parts of the UK, largely in response to systemic inequality and community tensions.”

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
