Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

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. The directors have produced forecasts for the Global Brands (GBL) Holdings Limited group of companies for the period to April 2026. These forecasts demonstrate that the group will continue to be able to operate within the banking facilities available to it for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these accounts.”

Significant events

• “The Alcohol Duty Rates changes in August 2023 resulted in several of our brands reducing ABV's from 4% to 3.4% which significantly reduce the duty which was the major reason for the reduction in turnover.”
• “We have been awarded the UK distribution rights for American Beverage Marketers form October 2024 for their range of Non-Alcoholic high-quality Syrups, Mixers and Purees.”

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
