DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The directors present their report and the audited financial statements of Renewable Energy Income Partnership III B Holdings Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2023. This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006/section 415A.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
 
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.

 In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:


select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Principal activity

The Company is a holding company for joint venture investments, of which the principal activity is the operation of renewable energy assets for the generation of power.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts and reviewed capital requirements for the twelve months from the date of approving these financial statements, which indicate the business can continue to trade for at least twelve months. Factors supporting the assessment are as follows:
 
The Company owns investments in joint ventures which generate cashflows throughout the year. All wind plants have Power and Energy Purchase Agreement (PPA) contracts which guarantee the electricity they produce a route to market for a period greater than 12 months from the date of approving these financial statements, and all solar plants have fixed pricing arrangements which, if called, provide a minimum price in that route to market for primary generation income.
The solar PV plants have Feed in Tariff accreditation, which is a 20-year government subsidy administered by Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (OFGEM) which guarantees a stream of revenue as long as the plants are generating electricity, at a price to be determined based on demand. 
The wind plants have Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) accreditation, which is a 20-year government subsidy administered by Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (OFGEM) which guarantees a stream of revenue as long as the plants are generating electricity, at a price to be determined based on demand.
The Company's cashflow forecasts have utilised forward pricing curves and the directors have applied sensitivities and considered debt repayments due over the next 12 months.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY INCOME PARTNERSHIP III B HOLDINGS LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Renewable Energy Income Partnership III B Holdings Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Statement of Financial Position and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its loss for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Other matters
The financial statements of Renewable Energy Income Partnership III B Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2022 were not audited, and thus the corresponding figures disclosed in these financial statements are unaudited.


Conclusions relating to going concern


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY INCOME PARTNERSHIP III B HOLDINGS LIMITED (CONTINUED)


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Discussions with and enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity. 
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:
 
Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards, company law, tax legislation and distributable profits legislation.
Those laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the business and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) compromises of: enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud may be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

ROC Recycle Estimate
The Company's investments establish accrued income in respect of the ROC recycle based on production for the period and apply externally available best estimates for the expected ROC recycle price for the period which is outstanding. Any difference between the estimate and the actual ROC recycle price is taken as revenue in the period in which the ROC recycle price is confirmed.
Impairment of equity of investments
At each reporting date equity investments are assessed to determine whether there is an indication that the asset (or asset's cash generating unit) may be impaired. If there is such an indication the recoverable amount of the asset (or asset's cash generating unit) is compared to the carrying amount of the asset (or asset's cash generating unit).
The recoverable amount of the asset (or asset's cash generating unit) is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and vale in use. Value in use is defined as the present value of the future cash flows before interest and tax obtainable as a result of the asset's (or asset's cash generating unit) continued use. These cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the current market risk-free rate and the risks inherent in the asset.
If the recoverable amount of the asset (or asset's cash generating unit) is estimated to be lower than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, unless the asset has been revalued when the amount is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation. Thereafter any excess if recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. 
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset (or asset's cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the revised carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts and reviewed capital requirements for the twelve months from the date of approving these financial statements, which the business can continue to trade for at least twelve months. Factors supporting the assessment are as follows:
 
The company owns investments in joint ventures which generate cashflows throughout the year.
All wind plants have Power and Energy Purchase Agreement (PPA) contracts which guarantee the electricity they produce a route to market for a period greater than 12 months from the date of approving these financial statements, and all solar plants have fixed pricing arrangements which, if called, provide a minimum price in that route to market for primary generation income.
The solar PV plants have Feed in Tariff (FiT) accredation, which is a 20-year government subsidy administered by Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (OFGEM) which guarantees a stream of revenue as long as the plants are generating electricity, at a price to be determined based on demand.
The wind plants have Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) accreditation, which is 20-year government subsidy administered by Office of Gas and Electricity (OFGEM) which guarantees a stream of revenue as long as as the plants are generating electricity, at a price to be determined based on demand.
The Group's cashflow forecasts have utilised forward pricing curves and the directors have applied sensitivies and considered debt repayments due over the next 12 months. 


  
2.6

Equity investments

Equity investments in joint ventures are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of equity investments, the difference between net disposal proceedings and the carrying amount of the investments is taken into the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. 
Joint ventures are entities over which the Company has contractual arrangements to jointly share the control with one or more parties.

  
2.7

Transaction costs

Costs directly attributable to an investment in joint ventures are included as part of the cost of the investment in joint ventures.

 
2.8

Debtors

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.

 
2.9

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

  
2.10

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.11

Financial instruments

The Company has chosen to adopt both Section 11 and 12 of FRS 102, in full, in respect of its financial instruments.
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors and loans to related parties.

  
2.12

Financial assets

Basic financial asssets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost.
At the end of each reporting year financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the assets' original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
Financial assets are derecognised when (i) the contractual rights to the cashflows from the asset expire or are settled, or (ii) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party, or (iii) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.

  
2.13

Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is .an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 
2.14

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.15

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.16

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings using the effective interest method.

  
2.17

Taxation

Taxation expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. 
Tax is recognised in Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
(i) Current tax
Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the period or prior periods. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. These timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are only recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
