Going concern

Affirmed

“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as the directors believe the Company will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due within twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, based on the statement of financial position. In reaching a conclusion that the going concern basis of preparation was appropriate, the Directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts for the Company, considered the Company's dependency on the group treasury function and obtained a letter of support from Bacardi Limited as the ultimate parent company confirming that Bacardi Limited will continue to financially support the Company for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Other significant movements have been an increase in Trade Receivables of £6,289,000 due to the additional consumer demand later in Q4 of 2025 resulting from the timing of Easter week and the coinciding holidays. The movement in Trade Receivables has been offset by an improvement in the Inventory stock holding.”
• “In June 2023, the UK High Court ruled in Virgin Media Limited v NTL Pension Trustees II Limited that amendments to the rules of a contracted-out defined benefit pension scheme are void if they lack the required actuarial confirmation under section 37 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993. The UK Court of Appeal upheld this decision on 25 July 2024. In response, the UK Government announced on 5 June 2025 its intention to introduce legislation permitting pension schemes to retrospectively obtain actuarial confirmation for past amendments, which would effectively address issues arising from this judgment. The Company and the trustee of its defined benefit scheme await this legislation and continue to monitor any implications for the defined benefit pension scheme.”

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
