Affirmed

“The parent company, Spirit Energy Limited, confirms it will continue to provide financial support to the Company to ensure it can meet its obligations as they fall due, for at least 20 months following from 28 April 2025, provided the Company remains a member of the Group. The amounts owed to group undertakings will not be required to be repaid to Spirit Energy Limited for at least 12 months following the signing of the financial statements. Therefore, the Directors continue supporting the use of the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
