General information |
The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England & Wales.
The address of its registered office is:
United Kingdom
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company is researching the UK for potential sites for wind farms, securing land rights, preparation and submission of planning applications, managing the approval process for current applications and other preparations for construction.
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the
|
Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
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.
Going concern
The company made a loss in the year but has positive distributable reserves and net current assets. The directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Turnover recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in preparing potential wind farm sites for construction.
Turnover is determined by the company achieving certain optimisation requirements of the planning process and so is variable and only recognised when the various optimisation activities have been met.
The Company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured; and
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

Foreign currency transactions and balances
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred 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 income 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 in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are 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 the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
|
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
|
Furniture, fittings and equipment |
20% straight line |
Work in progress
Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Costs which are directly attributable to the development of potential wind farm sites, and which have a reasonable expectation of obtaining the consents required to construct a wind farm, and to the extent that those costs do not exceed expected recoverable amounts, are treated as work in progress and not written off to the profit and loss account.
General site research costs or costs relating to projects that, in the directors opinion, cannot proceed are written off to the profit or loss account when incurred. Where a loss on a wind farm site is foreseen or a project is likely to be declined/discontinued, the total costs incurred to date, to the extent that they are not recoverable, are written off and are accounted for in the profit and loss account.

Financial instruments
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet 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.
Debtors
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are intially 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 using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Significant judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management 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. |
In the Director's opinion the only significant judgement and key source of estimation uncertainty is the recoverability of work in progress in relation to project viability. |
Recoverability of work in progress: Work in progress consists of £37,461,308 (2023: £28,885,691) in relation to the capitalisation of project-related costs incurred in the context of wind farm project development. Management assessed the recoverability of the capitalised costs on the balance sheet date taking into account any value reductions to the extent necessary based on the future realisation opportunities of the projects and the value of the expected future cash flows. |
