| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 |
| 1. | COMPANY INFORMATION |
| Progressive Energy Net Zero A Limited is a |
| The company's principal activity in the period under review was that of energy sector project developments. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
| The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
| The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. At the year end the company had net current liabilities of £84,587 of which £1,400,313 was owed to Progressive Energy Limited, the company's parent. Progressive Energy Limited will continue to support the company and will not recall the loan whilst it would adversely impact the company's ability to continue as a going concern. |
| However, included in debtors is a balance of £732,563 being £1,282,807 due from a joint venture in which the company owns 33.3% (see note 5) less a 50% provision against this balance amounting to £550,244. The loan is intended to enable the joint venture to carry out development work on a portfolio of projects in the hydrogen sector, the success of which is dependent upon approval by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero. This joint venture entity is in a net liability position, and investment into the joint venture by the investors is currently paused. Although the directors are confident that the debt will be fully repaid, due to the success of the joint venture project being outside of the directors' control and dependent upon Government policy the recovery of this debt is conditional on the project being successful. The directors strongly believe that project is highly likely to be approved due to the current advanced state it is in, but there is no absolute certainty. As a result of this uncertainty, the directors have provided for 50% of this debt, but uncertainty still remains in respect of the unprovided amount. As a result, there is a material uncertainty as to the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. |
| Progressive Energy Limited, the parent company, continue to provide financial support to the company, although it has no obligation to do so, and the directors believe this will continue as a result of the belief they have in the joint venture project. On this basis, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| In determining the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the company makes assumptions of the |
| effects of uncertain future events on those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. The entities' estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and expectation of future events and are reviewed periodically. These include, but are not limited to, the recognition of income in relation to the recovery of costs. |

| Turnover |
| Revenue from energy sector project development 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 from energy sector project development 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 energy sector project development from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided 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. |
| Any potential losses on contracts are recognised at the point recovery of the input costs of the company are deemed to be potentially irrecoverable. |
| Government grants |
| Grants are accounted for under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income. |
| Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure. |

| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. |
| Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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. |
| Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, amounts due from group undertakings and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost. Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and amounts due to group undertakings 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
