2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Related party exemption

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Significant judgements and estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the value of assets and liabilities and income and expenses recorded for the year. Actual results in future financial statements may differ from current estimates due to changes in these assumptions or economic conditions.

The principal estimates and judgements are described below. Given their importance in the company's financial statements, the impact of any change in assumption in these areas could be significant. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which these estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Impairment of non-current assets:

The company test annually whether non-current assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating unit have been determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates, which includes the following: generation outputs, pricing and operating costs.

Property, plant and equipment

Plant, property and equipment are measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses thereon. Cost includes direct costs (including direct labour), overheads, decommissioning or restoration costs and interest incurred in the financing of the construction asset. The charge for depreciation is calculated to write down the cost of the tangible assets, less estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Major asset classifications and their estimated useful lives are:

Assets under construction - Not depreciated until operational

Subsequent expenditure, for example. the cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is recognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of the property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.

Financial instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of it's financial liabilities.

Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.

Where contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the costs of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the year in which they occur.

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In 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.

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the Income Statement in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the Income Statement unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

Going concern

At 31 December 2024 the company had a net asset surplus of £244, 321 (2023 - net deficit £1,230,067) and has returned a net profit before tax of £1,474,274 (2023 - net loss before tax of £1,000,623). The prior year included an impairment of tangible assets of £962,361, without which there would have been a loss of £38,262. The current year included an exceptional item in relation to the forgiveness of an intercompany liability to the immediate parent company prior to the disposal of the company shares. This amounted to £1,475,176, and without this the company would have returned a loss of £902. It is noted that the company is in the early stages of the development of a wind farm and is several years away from the commencement of trade. As such, trading profits are not expected in the current period or the immediate future.

The company has a net current asset deficit of £3,146,944 (2023 - £54,771). The current asset deficit

has increased significantly. This is due to the reclassification of the balance owed to the immediate parent company following the change in ownership. Other than this, there would be a small deficit in line with the previous period due to balances owed to associated companies. While these balances are repayable upon demand, there is no repayment schedule and they are not expected to be paid in the immediate future..

The company is financed through its immediate parent company by a combination of working capital and external finance.. There are appropriate financing arrangements and contingency plans in place to facilitate the development of the assets.

The directors are confident the company has sufficient capacity to continue in operational existence, being the long-term development of assets, for the foreseeable future by continuing to meet its liabilities as they fall due for payment. As such, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Interest capitalised during the year amounted to £234,350 (2023: £274,718). The cost of the wind farm will be depreciated once construction is complete and available for use.

During the prior year an impairment on the carrying value of the asset under construction amounting to £962,360 was recognised and charged to the Income Statement during that year. No reversals have been recognised and as such the impairment charge continues to be carried against the cost of the asset at the balance sheet date.
