- Affirmed
“The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through the Group treasury function and its bank facilities. The Directors have also received a letter of support from an intermediary parent Company, Spinnaker Debtco Limited, and have made enquiries of the Directors of the parent Company to confirm that it has the ability to provide financial support. They have considered information regarding its ability to provide support to the Company including the Spinnaker Topco Limited Group Going Concern assessment, which includes covenant tests for Q3 2025 to Q3 2026 based on available financial forecasts which confirm that the banking covenants set out in the banking facilities agreements will be met. Based on this information, the Directors are confident that the Group will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due up to 30th September 2026 and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
