- 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
- “In November 2025, a new parent company, Bridgetown Group Holdings Limited, was incorporated to hold the shares in Bridgetown Holdings Limited. As part of the reorganisation the existing ordinary and ordinary A, B, C, E and F shares were repurchased by the company and subsequently cancelled. The share premium account of £15.6m was reduced to nil, and £15.6m was credited to reserves. 4,004 new £1 ordinary G shares were issued at par. These shares are 100% owned by Bridgetown Group Holdings Limited.”

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
