Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the break-up basis, which assumes that the LP will no longer be in operational existence 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The sole remaining asset in the Fund was sold in July 2025. Consequently, the Fund will be closed following the liquidation of all remaining capital.

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
