STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Introduction
 
The Directors present their Strategic Report for the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Business review
 
During the year the principal activity of the Company continued to be the provision of intermediary finance.
The Company's turnover during the period amounted to £2,403,000 (2023 - £3,802,000) with a loss after taxation of £11,437,000 (2023 - £11,275,000). As at 31 December 2024 the Company had net liabilities of £33,428,000 (2023 - £21,991,000). The Directors believe the Group is in a position to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due further details of which are set out in note 2.5.
Due to changes in the future cash flows expected to be generated by the Company's loan debtors, the Directors' have estimated that the recoverable value of the loans is less than their carrying value. An impairment charge has therefore been recognised in the statement of income and retained earnings in the period of £6,926,000 (2023 - £8,584,000).

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The principal risk of the Company is the ability to meet its third party debt obligations, which it does using income derived from its loans to group undertakings, who in turn generate income from their direct and indirect subsidiaries that are involved in the generation of renewable energy. To this end the Company’s debt obligations have been structured to ensure cash inflows exceed cash outflows due under financing obligations. The Directors monitor asset income generation forecasts in the Company's indirect subsidiaries closely to ensure the Company is in a position to meets its liabilities as they fall due.
The Company is also subject to risks associated with impending laws, regulations and changes in the markets in which it operates. These include changes to the corporation tax rate, changes in electricity prices and changes in government policy in respect of renewable energy.

Financial key performance indicators
 
The key financial indicator for the Company is cashflow, which is monitored and managed on a regular basis to ensure that liabilities as a whole can be met as they fall due.

Other key performance indicators
 
The Directors do not consider that there are any other key performance indicators.


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The Directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
 
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.

 In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:


select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Results and dividends

The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £11,437,000 (2023 - £11,275,000).

No dividends were declared or paid in the year (2023 - £NIL).

Directors

The Directors who served during the year were:

Ms A L Bath 
Ms C Marlow (appointed 2 August 2024)
Mr P W Kent (resigned 2 August 2024)
Mr P A White (appointed 2 August 2024)
Ms A K Yoon (resigned 2 August 2024)
Mr M Quatraro 

Future developments

The Directors do not anticipate any changes in the level or nature of the Company's business in the near future. The Company will continue to identify new areas of market opportunity or sectors of interest across the renewable energy sector.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Financial instruments

The Company has established a risk and financial management framework to protect the Company from events that hinder the achievement of the Company's performance objectives. The objective is to limit undue counterparty exposure, ensure sufficient working capital exists and monitor the management of risk at a business unit level. Steps taken by management to achieve this include reviewing asset performance against forecasts to ensure cash flow generation is in line with expectations; monitoring day to day operations to ensure cash inflows are sufficient to cover expected cash outflows; and reviewing financial information on a monthly basis to ensure appropriate financing is in place and available to be deployed as and when required.
The principal risk the Company is exposed to in relation to its financial instruments is liquidity risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will fail to meet its financial obligations in a timely and cost effective manner due to mismatches in the maturity profile of assets and liabilities. The Company’s liquidity risk is principally managed using third-party borrowings and intercompany loans. Cash flows generated from operations are used to finance these facilities per the contractual provisions in place.

Qualifying third party indemnity provisions

An insurance policy is in place which covers Directors and Officers claims.

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are Directors at the time when this Directors' Report is approved has confirmed that:
 
so far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware, and

the Director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors are aware of that information.

Post balance sheet events

Refer to note 18 for details of post balance sheet events.

Auditors

The auditorsWellden Turnbull Limitedwill be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GRAVIS SOLAR 1 LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Gravis Solar 1 Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Balance Sheet and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its loss for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Material uncertainty related to going concern


We draw attention to note 2.5 of the financial statements that sets out the position of the Company with respect to going concern. Two of the Company's indirect subsidiaries are currently subject to an ongoing audit by the Office of Gas and Electricity Market (OFGEM), the energy regulator, the outcome of which is uncertain. An adverse or unfavourable finding following a regulatory review could result in a number of possible financial consequences for the impacted company and its ability to generate cashflows, which in turn may impact the ability of the Company to service its borrowings. As stated in note 2.5, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.5, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and  our Auditors' Report thereon.  The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report.  Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.  If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of Directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 2, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GRAVIS SOLAR 1 LIMITED (CONTINUED)


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. We have identified the greatest risk of a material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to relate to the timing and recognition of revenue, the valuation of loans receivable and payable and the override of controls by management. We have obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates within including both those that directly have an impact on the financial statements and more widely those for which non-compliance could have a significant impact on the Company’s operations and reputation. The Companies Act 2006 and UK company tax law are those that we have identified in this regard. Auditing standards limit the required procedures as to non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiries of those charged with governance and review of any applicable correspondence.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
 
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance as to actual and potential litigation and claims;
 
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
 
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
 
Reviewing the recoverability of intercompany loans with reference to the underlying cash flows the subsidiaries are expected to generate over life;
 
Assessing the reasonableness of revenue recognised in the period and the requirement of accounting standards; and
 
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.


Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.  The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

The Company was loss making in the period and is in a net liability position at the year end date. 
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which means that the Company can be expected to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of approval these financial statements. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation the Directors have taken into account the key risks of the business, including the Company’s business model and the availability of cash resources. 
The Company provides intermediary finance to its direct and indirect subsidiary undertakings, both of whom are holding companies for subsidiaries engaged in the generation and sale of renewable solar electricity. Two of the Company's indirect subsidiaries are currently subject to ongoing audits by OFGEM, the energy regulator, in relation to compliance with the Renewable Obligation Order (ROO). An adverse finding by OFGEM could result, amongst other things, in the withdrawal of a generating stations Renewable Obligations Certificates (ROC) accreditation where there has been  material non-compliance with the ROO. If OFGEM proceed with withdrawing the ROCs accreditation then the respective subsidiaries ability to generate income to repay the intercompany loans will be significantly impacted and in turn, the Company's ability to service its borrowings.
The outcome of the ongoing audits in the Group remain uncertain as at the date of approval of these financial statements however the Directors note that all subsidiaries continue to receive ROC certificates.
Although there is uncertainty as to the outcome of these audits, the Directors cite the ongoing support of the Company’s parent and lender to not demand repayment of their outstanding debt to the detriment of the Company.
On this basis the Directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

  
2.6

Revenue

Revenue 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 comprises interest receivable from the provision of loan financing. Interest receivable is recognised over the loan period using the effective interest method, which takes into account related fees and transaction costs.

  
2.7

Interest payable

Interest payable is recognised using the effective interest method, which takes into account related fees and transaction costs. Interest payable is included within cost of sales as it is directly attributable to the interest receivable included in revenue.

 
2.8

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

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

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

 
2.10

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.11

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.12

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.13

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.14

Financial instruments

The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.14
Financial instruments (continued)

estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

Basic financial liabilities

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 Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Derecognition of financial instruments

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions which affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with past experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such such estimates.
The Directors do not consider the Company to have any key sources of estimation uncertainty nor significant judgements or assumptions in preparing these financial statements.

Loan impairment

Due to changes in the future cash flows expected to be generated by the Company's loan debtors, the Directors' have estimated that the recoverable value of the loans is less than their carrying value. An impairment charge has therefore been recognised in the statement of income and retained earnings in the period of £6,926,000 (2023 - £8,584,000).
