- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In October 2024, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced provisional anti-dumping duties on European cognac imports, with rates ranging from 30.6% to 39%. This move was in response to the EU's tariffs on Chinese EVs. While this does not directly impact the Company, there is an impact on subsidiary Larsen Le Cognac de Vikings SAS.”

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
