2	Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

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, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

The Company early adopted the amendments to FRS 102 arising from the Periodic Review 2024 during the period ended 31 March 2024. This has resulted in the Company recognising right of use assets and lease liabilities for all leases previously treated as operating leases. Right of use assets are recognised as a sub category within Tangible fixed assets.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Going concern

The Company has net current liabilities of £12,211,875 (2025 - £11,156,176). The Company's net liability position is a result of the outstanding infrastructure loan. At the period end, there is an unsecured loan of £14,036,186 (2025 - £12,401,150) from the parent company.

The Directors have received confirmation through a letter of support from Future Biogas Limited, the parent company, that they will not seek repayment of part or all of any intercompany debt, for at least twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements, where to do so would place the Company in a position where it could not continue to trade as a going concern.

The Directors of the Company have assessed the future cash flow forecasts at the balance sheet date and also taken into consideration the letter of support received from the Company's shareholder. Based on this assessment, the Directors have concluded it is appropriate to use the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Generation of gas / electricity
Revenue from the sale of gas and electricity is recognised in the period in which it is generated based on contractual terms that exist. Any amounts generated but not billed at the balance sheet date are recognised as revenue and included in debtors as accrued income.

Sale of Green Gas Certificates
As part of the company’s operations, they generate Green Gas Certificates. Revenue from the sale of Green Gas Certificates is recognised as they are generated where a contract exists with a third party to acquire. Where, at the balance sheet date, no contract exists to purchase, Green Gas Certificates are held in stock at an approximation of their cost of generation.

Tax

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 in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below.

Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred 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 profit.

Tangible assets

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

Assets under construction are held at cost until they are ready for use. Once ready for use, assets are transferred into the relevant category and are held at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

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

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is charged on the following basis:

Asset class	Depreciation method and rate
Right of use asset	Over the life of the lease

Year Ended 31 March 2026

Plant and machinery	Straight line over 20 years from plant commissioning date
Decommissioning provision (included within plant and machinery)	Over the lease term

Stocks

Stocks represent costs of energy crops for use as feedstock in biogas generation, spare parts held for plant and machinery on site and Green Gas Certificates. All stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value

Provisions

As part of the measurement and recognition of assets and liabilities in the period, the Company has recognised a provision for decommissioning obligations associated with the anaerobic digestion plant. In determining the present value of the provision, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to the discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and remove the plant from the site and the expected timing of these costs, and this data is compared to industry available data. The carrying amount of the provision as at 31 March 2026 was £1,164,987 (2025: £1,139,909). The discount rate applied was 2.2%.

Leases

The Company recognises a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short term leases (defined as leases with a term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives are spread over the term of the lease.

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the Balance Sheet. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of all future lease payments, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease, or if this rate is not readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate of the Company. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability include:
• fixed and variable lease payments, less any lease incentives;
• the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
• the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the
options; and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an
option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest rate method) and by reducing the carrying amount by any lease payments made.

The Company remeasures the lease liability and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset whenever:
• the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase
option; or
• a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease
in which case the liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

Right of use assets are presented within tangible fixed assets on the Balance Sheet. The right of use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day of the lease and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right of use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset, unless a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right of use assets reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, in which case the right of use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at commencement of the lease.

Financial instruments

Classification

The company holds the following financial instruments:

• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Loans with group companies; and
• Cash and bank balances.

All financial instruments are classified as basic.

Recognition and Measurement

The company has chosen to apply the recognition and measurement principles in FRS102.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.

Except for loans with group companies, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.

Loans with group companies are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Key accounting judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty

Fixed assets and other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset's net selling price and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairments, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. No impairment charge has been recognised at the year (2025 - £Nil).

As part of the measurement and recognition of assets and liabilities in the period, the Company has recognised a provision for decommissioning obligations associated with the anaerobic digestion plant. In determining the present value of the provision, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to the discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and remove the plant from the site and the expected timing of these costs, and this data is compared to industry available data. The carrying value of such provisions and discount rates applied are included within the accounting policy for provisions.
