Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.

The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.

Accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The company recognises revenue when:
the amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and
specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

Revenue earned from operations and management services is recognised as those services are performed as per the agreement in place with the respective solar photovoltaic sites. There may be deferred or accrued income on the balance sheet depending on the revenue recognised and the level of cumulative billing as at the reporting date.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into sterling at the rates prevailing on the reporting period date.

Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

All foreign currency gains and losses are recognised within administrative expenses in the Profit and Loss Account.

Tax

The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.


Deferred tax
Deferred corporation tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and on unused tax losses or tax credits in the company. Deferred corporation tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profits.

Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible fixed assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

IT equipment

50% straight line

Technical equipment

10-50% straight line

Motor vehicles

20% reducing balance

Investments

Investments are recognised initially at cost and subsequently are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost and using the effective interest method if the balance is due in more than one year.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments.

Dividends

Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Accounting policies (continued)

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are due.

Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits, including the cost of any unused holiday entitlement, are recognised as a liability and an expense in the period in which the employees' services are received.

3

Significant 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 amount of certain assets and liabilities. 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. 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.

The estimates and assumptions which have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.

Accruals for liquidated damages

Included within Accruals and deferred income is a liability of £107,442 (2025: £112,230) for contractual costs which the company incurs during the normal course of its business. The company provides operation and maintenance services to a large number of solar fields and, under the terms of the related contracts, where a site’s capacity falls below a defined minimum then the company is potentially liable for damages to its customer. Each site’s damages will be quantified and settled some time after the contract year-end, and that year-end will not necessarily coincide with the company’s financial year-end. As a result, the liability as at 31 March 2026 is the sum of a number of smaller estimates of the amounts which will be paid once these costs are agreed. This liability has not been settled as at the date of the approval of the financial statements and the final liability may differ to the estimate included within creditors.

The estimate is based on the directors’ experience of agreeing similar costs in the past, as well as known variables such as site size, contract year-end etc.
