- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis in this active, non-trading UK company under the ultimate control of Pernod Ricard S.A ("Group"). The assets of the Company consist entirely of an equity investment in a fellow Group subsidiary. The directors' are satisfied with the carrying value of this investment and in their opinion, the Company can therefore be considered as having adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future, being at least twelve months after the date of approval of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company came out of dormancy in June 2025 and made a loss for the year of €0.4m. As an investment holding company, the most material items that will impact the statement of total comprehensive income are movements in the carrying value of the Company's equity investment or the receipt of dividend income from that investment.”
- “In June 2025 as part of a group recapitalisation plan, the Company issued shares with a subscription price of €5.1m to its parent. The Company used the funds received to acquire additional shares in a fellow Pernod Ricard S.A group company in which it has a minority shareholding.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
