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. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 Group's or the parent 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
- “After consideration and discussion with the Directors of the fund on 5th December 2024, it was decided to compulsorily redeem all fund investors and return capital subject to the approval of a liquidation budget.”
- “As a result of BCP's sole client (the fund) ceasing activity with the Company, a consultation process took place with all staff in December 2024 (excluding Directors), that unfortunately concluded that there was no alternative other than terminating staff's employment by reason of redundancy.”
- “Trading activities formally ceased on 1 January 2025. The decision to cease trading was made due to the challenges in raising sufficient capital to cover operational costs.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
