Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

Group accounts not prepared

The financial statements contain information about BSR Energy Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company has taken advantage of the exemption conferred by section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 not to produce consolidated financial statements as it is included in group accounts of a larger UK group.

The company has net liabilities of £8,833,856 (2023: £3,644,669).

In making their going concern assessment, the directors have obtained confirmation that the ultimate parent undertaking and other group companies will continue to provide financial and non financial support to the company for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from approval of the financial statements. The directors have obtained confirmation that the amounts due to group companies, whilst considered repayable on demand, will only be called in when there are sufficient funds to do so and not in detriment to third party creditors. The directors have also considered the ability of the ultimate parent undertaking and other group companies ability to provide financial and non financial support for the foreseeable future.

As such, the directors believe that the going concern basis to be appropriate.

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the company.

Turnover is recognised when there is a commitment to transfer the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customer.

Tax

Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

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

Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.

Investments

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less provision for impairment

Stocks

Work in progress represents design and planning costs on proposed renewable asset developments and is valued at the lower of cost and recoverable value.

Cost is based on the cost of purchase and include direct labour and overheads when such costs are receovable and dependent on the stage of development.

Net recoverable value is based on estimated selling price less additional costs to completion and disposal.

Significant judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the directors to make judgements, 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. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

The following judgements and estimates have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Carrying value of work in progress
Work in progress includes costs associated with the development of renewable assets. The directors assess the development costs based on a gate process, whereby each stage in the development cycle is required to go through a robust viability assessment. Certain development costs are incurred prior to planning permission being obtained on sites and are included within work in progress where the directors believe planning will be obtained, based on historical experience. Further to this certain costs incurred may be partially refundable in the event of a project not being taken forward.

Where planning is not expected to be obtained or the proposed development is not currently viable, the associated costs are provided against.

The total value of work in progress that is still subject to obtaining planning permission is £6,058,451 (2023: £5,446,809) but the directors consider this to be recoverable based on historic experience. A provision of £1,155,719 (2023: £276,617) has been recognised against work in progress at the balance sheet date, which has been recognised as an expense in the period.

Deferred tax assets - utilisation of historical losses
The company has taxable losses of £9,231,098 (2023: £2,988,772) available to utilise in the future. The directors have exercised judgement in the level of taxable losses that they believe the group will be able to utilise in the future based on financial forecasts for renewable asset projects and the wider group’s activity. A deferred tax asset of £2,307,774 (2023: £747,193) has been recognised in relation to these losses. A number of projects are expected to cover a significant period of time and as such the deferred tax asset has been treated as a non-current asset in the current year. The directors’ assessment has changed since the comparative period, where deferred tax assets were treated as current assets, due to the timing of significant expected transactions.

Financial instruments

Classification
The company holds the following financial instruments:

• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Balances with group undertakings; and
• Cash and bank balances.

All financial instruments are classified as basic.

 Recognition and measurement
The company has chosen to apply the recognition and measurement principles in FRS102.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.

Such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
