STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Business review
 
Fawley Waterside Limited (“FWL”) completed the acquisition of Fawley Power Station and the surrounding site, totaling c.300 acres, on the West coast of Southampton Water (the “Site”) on 19 October 2015, for a total consideration of £31.7 million including VAT (£5 million of which has since been recovered) and transaction costs. The long-term strategy for the site is to seek opportunities to maximise site value. In July 2024, the erstwhile planning application, then awaiting engrossment by the local planning authorities, was withdrawn. In due course, it is expected that a new application will be submitted, and a planning team has been appointed to progress this.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
In common with many businesses, the company is exposed to a range of risks. The director manages risk in a variety of ways depending on its nature and its potential impact.
The director believes the following risks to be the most significant for the company:

Business risk
 
The company will pursue outline planning permission, subject to section 106 agreement, the precise nature of which is still to be confirmed, but which is highly likely to be centred around commercial and marine uses. To maximise the value of the site, the business will need to produce a potentially profitable scheme and attract any necessary funding. There is a risk that the company will incur additional planning risk when moving to the detailed planning stage, or otherwise be unable to secure whatever funding might be necessary.

Default risk and defaulting Limited Partners
 
Were a limited partner of the parent undertaking, Fawley Waterside (UK) Limited Partnership, to default on its obligations to fund drawdowns pursuant to its parent undertaking commitment (were any such drawdowns required), the parent undertaking may be unable to make up any shortfall from other sources. The limited partners of the parent undertaking may be required to make additional contributions or accelerate the payment of their commitment to replace such shortfalls in the company and thereby increase their risk exposure.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FAWLEY WATERSIDE LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Fawley Waterside Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows, the Statement of changes in equity 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 March 2024 and of its profit 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.


Material uncertainty related to going concern


We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on continued and, in a severe but plausible downside scenario, additional financial support being made available by its ultimate parent, over which there is uncertainty. As stated in note 2.2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.


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


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 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. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Strategic report and the Director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic report and the Director's report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Director's report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the director was not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Director's responsibilities statement set out on page 2, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FAWLEY WATERSIDE 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.


Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. 
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 
The specific procedures for this engagement that we designed and performed to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud, were as follows: 

Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
 


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.

2.2

Going concern

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which the director believes to be appropriate for the following reasons:
At 31 March 2024, the company had an outstanding bank loan of £2,340,000 (2023: 7,639,000) which has no fixed repayment term is therefore considered repayable on demand and amounts owed to group undertakings of £8,515,000 (2023: 3,072,000) which are similarly, due on demand. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to £1,740,000 (2023: £544,000) whilst most of current assets is Work in progress of £26‚630‚000 (2022: £26,630,000).
The director notes that during the year to 31 March 2021, outline planning permission was received in respect of the planned development at Fawley Waterside, which makes up the entirety of the company’s work in progress and was the reason why the company was formed.
The director has prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its immediate parent, FWUKLP, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Those forecasts are dependent on FWUKLP not seeking repayments of the amounts due as at 31 March 2024, being £8‚515‚000, and providing additional financial support as required during that period. FWUKLP has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company, and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts due at the balance sheet date for the period covered by the forecasts. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the director acknowledges that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. However, the ability of FWUKLP to continue to provide this support is dependent on its ability to obtain additional funding, if required, from its Limited Partners. If the remaining bank loan of £2,340,000 was to be recalled, the company would be reliant on the partnership obtaining capital contributions to the same value, in order to provide this as additional funding to the company.
The directors have an expectation, which they believe is reasonable, that the bank funding will not be recalled and that the partnership will continue to provide funding to the company within the period covered by the forecasts.

2.2
Going concern (continued)


Accordingly, at the time of signing these financial statements, the director considers that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, these circumstances represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, to continue realising its assets and discharging its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate.

  
2.3

Financial instruments

ln accordance with FRS 102.22, financial instruments issued by the Company are treated as equity only to the extent that they meet the following two conditions:
(a) they include no contractual obligations upon the company to deliver cash or other financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the company; and
(b) where the instrument will or may be settled in the company’s own equity instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to deliver a variable number of the company’s own equity instruments or is a derivative that will be settled by the company’s exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument so classified takes the legal form of the company’s own shares, the amounts presented in these financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account exclude amounts in relation to those shares.
Basic financial instruments
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of instrument for a similar debt instrument.
Trade and other creditors
Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. lf the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of a similar debt instrument.
Interest—bearing borrowings classified as basic financial instruments
interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.

2.4

Impairment

Financial assets (including trade and other debtors)
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its canying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. For financial instruments measured at cost less impairment an impairment is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. 
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than investment property, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. ln assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
An impairment loss is reversed if and only if the reasons for the impairment have ceased to apply.

  
2.5

Work in progress

Work in progress is the land and site assets at Fawley Power Station and is recognised at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.
Costs comprise the purchase price of the land and assets and the related legal costs on acquisition which directly relate to bringing the work in progress to its existing location and condition.

2.6

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

 
2.7

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.8

Interest payable

Interest payable is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

 
2.9

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

2.10

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Plant and machinery
-
3-5 years
Motor vehicles
-
5 years

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

  
2.11

Government grants

Government grants are included within deferred income in the balance sheet and grant revenue is recognised in income when it is received or receivable and performance related conditions are fulfilled.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. 
Work in progress (Note 12)
The company has classified land as Work-in-Progress (WIP) under FRS 102 as it is held for subsequent development and resale.
The classification of land as WIP is based on management’s assessment of the land’s intended use and current development activity. This classification will be reassessed if the intended use or development status changes.

Accounting estimates and judgements

Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Management applies judgement regarding the valuation of the work in progress, which is assessed in conjunction with progress and developments made towards obtaining planning permission for the Fawley Power Station and the surrounding site. The site is currently held at cost in the absence of a grant of planning permission.
Critical accounting judgements in applying the company's accounting policies
Management applies judgement to decisions regarding costs to be capitalised into work in progress and costs to be expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Costs associated with the acquisition of the land and site assets have been capitalised. Costs associated with obtaining planning consent will be expensed to the statement of comprehensive income until the point where planning consent is obtained and the Section 106 is agreed.
