Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation, noting that one material uncertainty was identified in their assessment, which include a number of events which are outside of the control of the Board. The intentions of the Purchaser post completion of the Sale, including the provision of appropriate financial support to the Waldorf Group entities, and the availability of such funds, are not known to the Directors and are therefore uncertain.

Significant events
- “The former ultimate parent company, Waldorf Energy Partners Limited ("WEPL"), together with its direct parent, Waldorf Production Limited ("WPL"), have entered administration as a result of material unsecured liabilities and the directors' determination that these entities could no longer continue as going concerns.”
- “In June 2024, Waldorf Energy Partners Limited ("WEPL") and Waldorf Production Limited ("WPL"), the Company's parent companies, entered into administration on the basis that their financial situation was no longer considered by the directors of those companies to enable them to continue operating as a going concern.”
- “On 12 December 2025, the WEPL Administrators and the WPL Administrators announced that they had entered into a share sale and purchase agreement (the "SPA") with Chrysaor Holdings Limited (the "Purchaser"), an affiliate of Harbour Energy plc regarding the sale of the subsidiaries of WEPL and WPL (excluding WEF and WEPL and WPL themselves) (the "Target Group"), including Waldorf Operations Limited (the "Sale").”
