“The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, an expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period to 31 July 2026. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Owing to the principal activities of the Company, the Company's future cashflows are reliant on the Bring Energy group. Any unfunded cash flow and liquidity requirements will be met by the Bring Energy group. The budgeted cash flows for the group, which show sufficient headroom even in a year of change, and available liquidity through new financing facilities allows the Directors to have an expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period to 31 July 2026 and therefore apply the going concern basis of preparation for the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023. The Company has also received an uncapped letter of support from Bring Energy Group Limited (formerly Burnie Bidco Limited), which will provide support to the Company in order that the Company can maintain adequate financial resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due, and so that it is in a position to meet its obligations and continue to trade, but only to the extent that funding for this is not otherwise available to meet such obligations. In addition, it is expected that any of the subsidiaries within the Bring Energy group will also support other group companies directly or indirectly via Bring Energy Group Limited (formerly Burnie Bidco Limited). This support shall be applicable for a period to 31 July 2026. The Directors confirm that Bring Energy Group Limited (formerly Burnie Bidco Limited) has the capacity to provide such support in a manner it deems appropriate.”
