Accounting policies
Company information
Field Holmston Ltd is a private company limited by shares incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is 9th Floor, 41 West Campbell Street, Glasgow, Scotland, G2 6SE.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £'000.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Going concern
Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £true102k as at 31 March 2025 and a loss for the year then ended of £150k 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 ultimate parent company, Virmati Energy Ltd, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.
Those forecasts are dependent on Virmati Energy Ltd not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to the parent, which at 31 March 2025 amounted to £2.3m, and providing additional financial support during that period. Virmati Energy Ltd has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed 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 its parent 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
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets relate to acquired project development activities that support its battery asset operations. Subsequent measurement will be stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss. Research costs are expensed.

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.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated.
1.5
Impairment of non-current assets
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible 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 are basic financial assets and 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
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost 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 receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, 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 payables 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 payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2
Employees
The Company had no employees during the period except for the directors (2024: nil). 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.
