Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors of the Company do not expect any significant changes in the Company's activities and have reasonable expectations that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors have concluded that the values of the Company's financial assets are recoverable and that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operation, with the commitment of its ultimate parent undertaking C&C Group plc to provide financial support to the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and that based on the going concern review of the entire C&C Group plc ("Group"), such financial support is available. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During FY2025, an investment of £1,089k arose in The Wondering Wine Company Limited following the waiving of an intercompany receivable balance. The Wondering Wine Company Limited was liquidated in February 2025 and the investment held by C & C Holdings (NI) Limited was subsequently impaired in full.”
• “During FY2024, the Directors assessed the carrying value of its investments and made the decision to impair the entire holding of C&C IP (No.2) Sarl and The Orchard Pig Limited by £41.7m. During FY2025 both of these entities, along with The Annerville Financing Company, were liquidated and therefore C & C Holdings (NI) Limited no longer holds shares in any of these entities. The assets of C&C IP (No.2) Limited were transferred to C & C Holdings (NI) Limited as part of the liquidation process.”

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
