NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2025


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Worcestershire Solar 1 Limited is a limited company, registered in England and Wales. Its registered office address is 5 New Street Square, London, EC4A 3TW and the registered number is 12335286.

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.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) and are rounded to the nearest pound (£).

Going Concern
At the year end the company had net current liabilities of £53,461,290 (2024: £22,342,818). The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis as Gresham House Secure Income Renewable Energy and Storage LP, a Limited Partnership ('LP') under common control, have the ability and the intention to continue supporting the company's operating activities for at least 12 months from the date of approval. In addition, the LP will not call for the repayment of the outstanding loans of £56,723,085 (2024: £43,489,568) until 2035 as per the loan agreement.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

(i) Impairment of tangible fixed assets
Annually, the directors consider whether tangible fixed assets are impaired. Where an indication of impairment is identified, the estimation of the recoverable value requires an estimation of the future cash flows from the tangible fixed asset and also the selection of appropriate discount rates in order to calculate the net present value of those cash flows.

Tangible fixed assets
Assets under construction are stated at acquisition cost. Additions include amounts payable to third party contractors for the construction of the solar plant and other costs that were directly attributable to bringing the assets into working condition for their intended use.

Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment, at annual rates calculated in order to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives.

Interest on loan amounts used for capital expenditure during the construction phase of the assets are capitalised according to the nature of the capital expenditure.

Depreciation commences when the asset becomes ready for its intended use. The residual values, if not insignificant, and remaining useful lives are reassessed at each reporting date. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, those components are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the profit and loss account.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Impairment of non-financial assets
At each balance sheet date non-financial assets not carried at fair value are assessed to determine whether there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. If there is such an indication, the recoverable amount of the asset is compared to the carrying amount of the asset.

The recoverable amount of the asset is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is defined as the present value of the future cash flows before interest and tax obtainable as a result of the asset’s (or asset’s cash generating unit’s) continued use. These cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the current market risk-free rate and the risks inherent in the asset.

If the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to be lower than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account, unless the asset has been revalued when the amount is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation. Thereafter any excess is recognised in profit or loss.

If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the revised carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

Financial instruments
(i) Financial assets

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, 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.

Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors 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.

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

Taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.

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.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Balance Sheet date, except that:
- The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
- Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Both current and deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Operating leases
Leases that do not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are capitalised and once the site is operational the payments will be charged to profit or loss.

Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.

Other reserves
Other reserves includes a capital contribution made by a previous parent company in relation to the waiver of loan balances.
