The company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the directors' report.
1.1

1.2
Going concern
Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £1true3.4m as at 31 March 2025 and a loss for the year then ended of £1.2m the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to
be appropriate for the following reasons.
The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its immediate parent company, V.E Series B Borrower Ltd, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.
Those forecasts are dependent on V.E Series B Borrower Ltd not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to the parent, which at 31 March 2025 amounted to £13.6m, and providing additional financial support during that period. Under the facility agreement, V.E Series B Borrower Ltd agrees to continue to make available such funds as required by the Company and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts due at the balance sheet date, for the period covered by the forecasts.
As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
1.3
Revenue
Revenue is related to the provision of energy storage through capacity market supply or generation under a third-party optimisation agreement.
The company has applied the IFRS 15 5 step model to its recognition of revenue which reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive under the terms of the agreement, over the period in which the service is delivered and recognised at a point in time.
Revenue is presented net of operating charges, contractual deductions and allowances deemed directly attributable to the provision of energy and excludes any administrative costs deducted at source.
Other operating income relates to contractual obligations or compensation for non-rendering of services which are not directly associated with primary operations of the asset.
1.4
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition and construction in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Costs include site preparation, planning, battery energy storage system (BESS), grid connection, civil engineering, cabling, professional fees, direct labour, cost of materials and other directly attributable costs such as borrowing costs.

Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the income statement.

1.5
Impairment of non-current assets
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
1.6
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.7
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
Financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised costs using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivables within one year are not amortised.
Classification of 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 deducting all of its liabilities.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method

1.8
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can
be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimation of the
considerations required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, considering the risks and
uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
A provision is recognised when there is a legal obligation to decommission the asset. The provision is an
estimation of the future costs, discounted over the life of the contractual obligation and is calculated using an
estimation of costs related to the removal of the installed plant and site restoration. The provision is
recognised during the construction of the asset, when construction is substantially complete and the amount
can be estimated reliably.
1.9
Leases
At inception, the company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease within the scope of IFRS 16. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Where a tangible asset is acquired through a lease, the company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets are included within property, plant and equipment, apart from those that meet the definition of investment property.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date plus any initial direct costs and an estimate of the cost of obligations to dismantle, remove, refurbish or restore the underlying asset and the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of other property, plant and equipment. The right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are unpaid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, and the cost of any options that the company is reasonably certain to exercise, such as the exercise price under a purchase option, lease payments in an optional renewal period, or penalties for early termination of a lease.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate; the company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or the company's assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less, or for leases of low-value assets including IT equipment. The payments associated with these leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Accounting judgement
Revenue presentation
In determining the presentation of revenue, management has assessed that the third-party operator of an asset is deemed a managing agent . The operator does not have substantially all the economic benefit or sole right to direct the use of the asset, therefore costs associated with the purchase of energy and other operating charges are not sufficiently separable costs and are netted in the presentation of revenue.
3
Revenue
The Company's turnover all arose in the United Kingdom and relates to a battery storage site owned and operated by the Company. Turnover arises from the sale of electricity along with capacity market income.
4
Staff costs
The Company had no employees during the year (31 March 2024: nil) except for the directors. No remuneration was paid or is payable by the company (2024: £nil). The Directors are employed by other companies in the group and consider their duties to this company incidental to their other activities within the group. As a result, no qualifying services have been performed in either year.
