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

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.

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The current economic and geopolitical environment were considered as part of the going concern assessment. No material uncertainties over going concern or significant judgements or estimates on the assessment were identified. Accordingly, the company will be able to draw on support from the bp group for the foreseeable future and these financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “The profit for the year after taxation was $282,670,000 which, when added to the retained profit brought forward at 1 January 2024 of $100,851,000, and after deducting total paid interim dividends to ordinary shareholders of $100,000,000, gives a total retained profit carried forward at 31 December 2024 of $283,521,000.”
• “The higher profit for the financial year was due to higher interest earned on the long term deposit with BP p.l.c. as a result of increased average interest rate compared to the previous year.”
