STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2026

Introduction
 
The directors present the strategic report of BG Lending PLC (the “Company”) for the period ended 28 February 2026. This is the first set of statutory accounts prepared by the Company since its incorporation.

Business review
 
BG Lending PLC was established as a specialist lender providing short-term real estate-backed bridging and development finance, with a focus on borrowers and underlying security located across the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. The Company commenced trading during the period and, as such, no prior year comparatives are presented.

The directors are pleased to report the following key financial highlights for the period:
The Company generated turnover of £250,485 in its inaugural reporting period, derived from a combination of fee income generated on origination and management of facilities. Cost of sales of £605,653 produced a gross loss of £355,168. The interest income earned from the loan portofolio was £1,444,198 and interest payable to investors was £794,811. After administrative costs of £227,673, the Company recorded an operating profit of £66,547 and a profit after taxation of £49,902. 

The loan portfolio at the period end comprised a diversified book of borrower exposures across multiple jurisdictions and currencies, funded by a combination of senior investor facilities and intercompany support from related entities within the wider group. The Company maintains operational accounts in Sterling, Euro, US Dollars and Swiss Franc to facilitate its cross-border lending activity and to align funding with the underlying currency of each facility.

The directors consider the results for the period to represent a satisfactory start to the Company’s trading history, demonstrating the successful establishment of an operating platform, the deployment of capital into income-generating assets, and the achievement of profitability in the first reporting period.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2026

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
As a newly established lender, the Company is exposed to a range of risks inherent to the specialist real estate finance sector, principally related to macroeconomic conditions and the specific nature of its lending activities. While the directors are satisfied that the Company has been positioned to manage these risks through prudent underwriting standards and active portfolio management, it is important to acknowledge the uncertainties that remain.

The directors are conscious of the competitive environment in the markets in which the Company operates, particularly within the property financing and bridging lending sector. To establish and protect the Company’s position, the directors continue to invest in strategic relationships with introducers, brokers and institutional partners, and tailor lending solutions to meet the requirements of borrowers and the expectations of investors.
Credit risk arising from borrower default is mitigated through the Company’s underwriting framework, which includes professional valuations, legal due diligence, and the taking of first-ranking security over the underlying real estate assets. Loan-to-value covenants and structured exit arrangements are applied on a deal-by-deal basis.

Breaches of cyber and information security present operational and reputational risks which are mitigated by:
• specific training of all personnel commensurate with their roles;
• systems designed to deliver security analytics, detection, prevention and threat visibility; and
• use of external consultants to undertake regular penetration testing.

Foreign exchange risk is managed by aligning the funding currency of each facility with the currency of the underlying loan asset, such that material currency exposures are matched at facility level. Residual exposure arising from fee income and cash held in operational accounts is monitored on an ongoing basis. Liquidity risk is managed through the maintenance of cash balances across the Company’s operating accounts and through coordinated funding arrangements with investors.

As a service-oriented business, recruiting, retaining and motivating skilled personnel at all levels of the organisation is recognised as fundamental to the long-term success of the Company. The directors are committed to building a stable team and to this end have implemented:
• a hybrid working policy;
• an open door policy across all levels of seniority;
• regular performance discussions;
• competitive pay and benefits; and
• director-level accountability for employee engagement.

Financial key performance indicators
 
As this is the first reporting period of the Company, comparative key performance indicators are not yet available. The directors will, going forward, monitor the growth and quality of the loan portfolio, gross margin, and profitability as the principal financial measures of performance. These indicators reflect the Company’s capacity to expand its lending operations and to generate sustainable returns from its underwriting activities.

Other key performance indicators
 
Key non-financial performance indicators include the number of new borrower relationships established, the diversification of the loan book by geography and asset type, and the maintenance of strong working relationships with introducers and investors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BG LENDING PLC
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of BG Lending Plc (the 'Company') for the period ended 28 February 2026, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 28 February 2026 and of its profit for the period then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Conclusions relating to going concern


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 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.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BG LENDING PLC (CONTINUED)


Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BG LENDING PLC (CONTINUED)


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).

In identifying and assessing risks of  material  misstatement  in  respect  of irregularities, including fraud and  non compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

• We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the Company and the industry in which it operates. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006.

• We obtained an understanding of how the Company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries of management.

• We challenged assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates.

We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.


General information


BG Lending PLC is a private company, limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales (registered number: 16058790). The registered office address and principal place of business of the company is 32-33 St. James's Place, First Floor, London, England, SW1A 1NR

The principal activity of the company is that of property financing and lending. 

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

In assessing the ability of the company to operate as a going concern, management have evaluated
current and forecasted operational results, and the solvency of the company. As a result, the
directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

 
2.3

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably. 
 

Interest income

Revenue from loans advanced to customers is recognised over the period of the agreement.

Exit & extension fees

Revenue from these sources are recognised from the inception of the loan agreement.

Arrangement and administration fees

Revenue from arrangement and administration fees are recognised in accordance with the terms
and conditions of each loan agreement.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2026

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.6

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.7

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

 
2.8

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.


 
2.9

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

Investments in unlisted Company shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each reporting date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.

 
2.10

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.11

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 2,  management is required to make judgments and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and the liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.

Recoverability and impairment of current assets.

The determination of whether there are indicators of impairment of the company's current assets and determination of the recoverability of amounts owed by third party and intercompany requires judgement in order to consider the fair value and any need for impairment.
