Rogue Baron Plc.
("Rogue Baron" or the "Company")
Half Year Report
for the six month period ended 30 June 2022
The six month period to June 30, 2022 was one of both great challenge yet
ultimately one of reward. The first quarter was one of very subdued trading
due to an inability to get stock from Tokyo to the USA as a result of repeated
Chinese lockdowns which threw Asian container shipping into chaos. However,
when the company finally was able to get stock into the USA progress was made
in key markets. In the second quarter, the group sold 689 cases globally
resulting in revenue of $87,492, moving 55% higher compared to the same period
in 2021, driven by both the addition of new markets and continuing demand from
existing customers.
In the key strategic US market, the team has been bolstered by an experienced
salesman from Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC), one of the
largest distributors in the US. As per the announcements of April 2022, the
Company has added distribution in a number of European countries (UK, Spain,
Switzerland and Austria). These markets accounted for 14% of total case sales
in the quarter as these markets have just begun to order their initial supply.
The Company has now hired a UK based brand manager to push UK and EU sales with
an initial particular focus on the UK. Progress on expanded USA distribution
has been made and the Company remains very confident of being able to deliver
on this in the near term.
Global consumer trends in the beverage industry continue to shift towards
ultra-premium drinks consumption. The Company has already seen the effect of
this with sales in Europe of its 8-year old Shinju expression. Rogue Baron
intends to capitalise on this trend with the intended future launch of 12 and
15 year old Shinju expressions. Due to strong demand for aged Japanese Whisky
and lack of supply this puts the Company in a strong position not only with
respect to Japanese Whisky but with respect to being able to cross sell other
spirits such as a super-premium tequila. The Company has already had numerous
other approaches from other alcohol brands with respect to being able to
access the Company's USA distribution network We believe this further franks
the value proposition of the Company as the USA liquor market is littered with
failed attempts by overseas brands to enter the country without understanding
the market let alone the regulatory system there.
The Company has also amended its year end to September 30. The Company auditor
PKF has been instructed to undertake a stock take of both Shinju and the
Company's tequila at warehouses in the USA, the Netherlands and Mexico. The
latter should resolve the outstanding matter from the audit opinion at the 31
December 2021 year end.
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this
announcement.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
FOR THE PERIODED 30 JUNE 2022
The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.The
Company's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021
have been completed and filed at Companies House.
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The Company's ordinary shares are quoted on the Aquis Stock Exchange and the
Company applies the Companies Act 2006 when preparing its annual financial
statements.
The annual financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2022 will be
prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
European Union (IFRS) and the principal accounting policies adopted remain
unchanged from those adopted in preparing its financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2021.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for
the purposes of preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements.
Segmental reporting
An operating segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that engages
in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses,
whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group's Chief Executive
Officer to make decisions about the allocation of resources and assessment of
performance and about which discrete financial information is available.
The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information for and makes
decisions about the Group's performance as a whole, as the Group has recently
been acquired. All revenue is generated in USA,
The Group expects to further review its segmental information during the
forthcoming financial year.
Fees and Loans Settled in Shares
Where shares have been issued as consideration for services provided or loans
outstanding, they are measured at fair value. The difference between the
carrying amount of the financial liability (or part thereof) extinguished, and
the fair value of the shares, is recognised in profit or loss.
2. TAXATION
No tax is due for the period as the Company has made a taxable loss. The
Directors expect these losses to be available to offset against future taxable
trading profits. The Group has not recognised any deferred tax asset at 30
June 2022 (30 June 2021: £nil) in respect of these losses on the grounds that
it is uncertain when taxable profits will be generated by the Group to utilise
any such losses.
3. LOSS per share
The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable
to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in
issue during the period. The impact of the options and warrants on the loss
per share is anti-dilutive.
