NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition, construction of, production of qualifying assets (tangible and intangible) are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Therefore, borrowing costs connected with the development of the farm are capitalised.
Costs incurred in respect of the development phase of a project are recognised as an intangible asset, when certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate that the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. Once the project is in construction phase the development costs are transferred to tangible assets. Depreciation is then charged from when the solar farm is connected to the grid.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
