Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
The financial period was shortened to the 9 month period ended 3 January 2025 to align with the period end date of the Solar Holdings Topco Limited group. The results for the prior period are for the 12 month period to 31 March 2024. The current and prior financial periods are not directly comparable.
Income Statement
The company is dormant as defined by section 1169 of the Companies Act 2006. The company received no income and incurred no expenditure during the current period or prior year and therefore no income statement is presented within these financial statements. There have been no movements in shareholders funds during the current period or prior year.
Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
Management do not consider the financial statements to contain any significant judgements or estimates.
Investments
Investments in Subsidiaries are recorded at cost.
Impairment of Fixed Assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
Financial Instruments
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. The company only has basic financial instruments.
